# Execute GitVersion Action (gitversion/execute) Usage Examples
Find out how to use the **gitversion/execute** action using the examples below.
For the GitVersion workflow to execute successfully, you must checkout your Git repository with `fetch-depth: 0` to fetch all history for all tags and branches, as follows:
```yaml
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
with:
fetch-depth: 0
```
This step is omitted from the examples for brevity.
> The examples use version _0.9.7_ of the GitVersion Execute action. It is recommended to use the latest released version in your own workflows.
## Inputs
The Execute GitVersion action accepts the following inputs:
```yaml
targetPath:
description: Optionally supply the path to the working directory.
required: false
default: ''
useConfigFile:
description: Whether to use a custom configuration file.
required: false
default: false
configFilePath:
description: Optional path to config file (defaults to GitVersion.yml).
required: false
default: 'GitVersion.yml'
updateAssemblyInfo:
description: Whether to update versions in the AssemblyInfo files.
required: false
default: false
updateAssemblyInfoFilename:
description: Update versions in specified file.
required: false
default: ''
additionalArguments:
description: Additional arguments to send to GitVersion.
required: false
default: ''
```
## Outputs
The Execute GitVersion action creates the following outputs:
- major
- minor
- patch
- preReleaseTag
- preReleaseTagWithDash
- preReleaseLabel
- preReleaseNumber
- weightedPreReleaseNumber
- buildMetaData
- buildMetaDataPadded
- fullBuildMetaData
- majorMinorPatch
- semVer
- legacySemVer
- legacySemVerPadded
- assemblySemVer
- assemblySemFileVer
- fullSemVer
- informationalVersion
- branchName
- escapedBranchName (since 5.2.0)
- sha
- shortSha
- nuGetVersionV2
- nuGetVersion
- nuGetPreReleaseTagV2
- nuGetPreReleaseTag
- versionSourceSha
- commitsSinceVersionSource
- commitsSinceVersionSourcePadded (since 5.2.0)
- uncommittedChanges (since 5.5.0)
- commitDate
The outputs can be accessed using the syntax `${{ steps.<id>.outputs.<outputName> }}`, where `<id>` is the ID assigned to the step that calls the action, by subsequent steps later in the same job. See example [5](#example-5).
The action also creates environment variables of the form `GITVERSION_<OUTPUTNAME>` for use by other steps in the same job. See example [6](#example-6).
The outputs can be accessed across jobs by mapping them to job outputs and referencing the job outputs using the `needs` context in dependent jobs. See examples [7](#example-7) and [8](#example-8).

## Examples
### Example 1
Calculate the version for the build.
```yaml
steps:
# gitversion/setup@v0.9.7 action omitted for brevity.
- name: Determine Version
uses: gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v0.9.7
```
### Example 2
Calculate the version for the build using a config file with the default name **GitVersion.yml**.
```yaml
steps:
- name: Determine Version
uses: gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v0.9.7
with:
useConfigFile: true
```
Example contents of **GitVersion.yml**:
```yaml
mode: Mainline
branches:
master:
regex: ^latest$
pull-request:
tag: pr
```
### Example 3
Calculate the version for the build using a config file named **VersionConfig.yml** in the root of the working folder.
```yaml
steps:
# gitversion/setup@v0.9.7 action omitted for brevity.
- name: Determine Version
uses: gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v0.9.7
with:
useConfigFile: true
configFilePath: VersionConfig.yml
```
### Example 4
Show the effective configuration for GitVersion by running the **/showConfig** command (passed as an additional argument).
```yaml
steps:
# gitversion/setup@v0.9.7 action omitted for brevity.
- name: Display GitVersion config
uses: gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v0.9.7
with:
useConfigFile: true
additionalArguments: '/showConfig'
```
### Example 5
Calculate the version for the build and display all the calculated variables in the next step.
```yaml
steps:
# gitversion/setup@v0.9.7 action omitted for brevity.
- name: Determine Version
id: gitversion
uses: gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v0.9.7
- name: Display GitVersion outputs

# gitversion/setup@v0.9.7 action omitted for brevity.
- name: Determine Version
uses: gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v0.9.7
- name: Display SemVer
run: |
echo "SemVer: $GITVERSION_SEMVER"
```
### Example 7
Calculate the version for the build and use the `branchName` output in a condition for starting another job.
```yaml
jobs:
calculate-version:
name: Calculate Version
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
outputs:
branchName: ${{ steps.gitversion.outputs.branchName }} # To use an output in another job, you have to map it to a job output.
steps:
# gitversion/execute step omitted for brevity
- name: Determine Version
id: gitversion
uses: gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v0.9.7
create-release-notes:
name: Create Release Notes
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: calculate-version
if: contains(needs.calculate-version.outputs.branchName, 'main') # Output variable accessed via `needs` context.
steps:
- run: |
# Output variables can also be accessed in steps, using an expression.
echo "Creating release notes for ${{ needs.calculate-version.outputs.branchName }} branch."
```
### Example 8

outputs:
semVer: ${{ steps.gitversion.outputs.semVer }}
steps:
# gitversion/execute step omitted for brevity
