How can I add versioning to concourse pipeline?

Question

After issuing a fly command to a Concourse pipeline, I would like to version this new pipeline.

I have tried maintain a separate `version' file on GIT repo.

But my requirement is to display this version on pipeline job name.

Please see the image where a version has to be appended

Adding more details:

I am looking at facility in GIT to watch for commits on a particular folder (say xyz). I got something similar the below:

Is there a tool to watch a remote Git repository on Ubuntu and do popup notifications when commits are made?

Answer 1

I achieved this by placing a placeholder for pipeline_version in pipeline file for the job name.

- name: set_env_test_((pipeline_version))

In the parameters file 'pipeline_version' is populated as below:

pipeline_version: 1.0.0

The other answer for this question is achieved with below code:

  plan:
  - get: test-version-resource
  - task: send-version
    config:
      platform: linux
      image_resource:
        type: docker-image
        source:
          repository: gliderlabs/alpine
          tag: latest 
      inputs:
      - name: test-version-resource
      run:
        path: /bin/sh
        args:
        - -c
        - |
          ls -la test-version-resource
