Versioning and Release Automation

Automate semantic versioning, Git tagging, and release workflows in Gradle so every build is reproducibly identified and releases are one command away.

Why Versioning Matters

A clear version on every artifact tells consumers what changed and lets you roll back safely. Manual edits to a version string are error prone, so we automate them.

Setting the Project Version

Every Gradle project has a version property used to name published artifacts.

version = "1.4.0"
group = "com.acme"
