Add usage documentation? about nbgv HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes, that's true. I hear that people's docker builds tend to not map in the .git directory, so nb.gv (the nuget package) doesn't work inside it. We should take such discussions over to that repo. In fact this one is already discussed: dotnet/Nerdbank.GitVersioning#416

You would put this action near the top of your existing pipeline/workflow. This will allow you to consume its outputs in the rest of your build.

If you're developing .NET projects however, the github action isn't particularly relevant because by far the easiest way to version your projects is to install the nerdbank.gitversioning nuget package.

Is there a way to get the current version to be used in another github action (docker build) without using the nbgv github action?

@Ian1971 I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking how to use this GitHub Action so you don't have to use the Action?
Once you use the nbgv action, you get variables you can use later in your workflow, presumably also being able to pass them to docker builds.

Sorry if not clear. It was in response to this "If you're developing .NET projects however, the github action isn't particularly relevant because by far the easiest way to version your projects is to install the nerdbank.gitversioning nuget package." which seems to be saying you don't need the github action if you are using the nuget package.
