Pipeline Artifact Versioning Flow

Setting up automated versioning requires configuring specific build tasks within your Azure DevOps pipelines. These tasks use pipeline variables and parameters to calculate the next version number and update the properties of the compiled files. The order of operations flows from the code repository to the final package storage:

1. Configure build pipeline tasks to automatically calculate and increment the major, minor, or patch version based on the commit type.
2. Use Git tags to mark the exact commit in the repository associated with the new version.
3. Incorporate build metadata into the artifact names to enhance traceability across different deployment environments.
