Starting from scratch

It is very easy to start using jgitver-maven-plugin on a new maven project:

1. let's start with a new maven project

   mvn archetype:generate -B \
     -DarchetypeCatalog=internal \
     -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \
     -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart \
     -DarchetypeVersion=1.1 \
     -DgroupId=fr.brouillard.jgitver.demos \
     -DartifactId=demo1 \
     -Dpackage=fr.brouillard.jgitver.demos \
     -Dversion=0
   

2. go to the created project directory

   cd demo1
   

3. create maven extension file to use jgitver-maven-plugin

   this step just consists in creating a .mvn directory whith an extensions.xml file, see README or use the following command:

   sh -c "$(wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jgitver/jgitver-maven-plugin/master/src/doc/scripts/install.sh -O -)"
   

4. initialize git on this project

   git init
   git add .
   git commit -m "inital commit"
   

5. et voilà you're ready to use jgitver inside your maven project

   mvn validate
