Get latest git tag in Ruby for use with Capifony

I've followed this for several of our projects. It works wonderfully, except grabbing the latest git tag. For example, if I have tags 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, Capifony will try to deploy tag 9 because it sees that as the latest tag using the code provided on that how-to.

How can I change the following line to always get the latest tag?

set :branch, `git tag`.split("\n").last
Solution

  • The output of git tag is alphabetical. How 'bout git tag | sort -n?

    Alternatively you could perform a numeric sort on the result of the split before grabbing the last entry.
