Action Summary

The “Smart csproj Version Grabber” GitHub Action is designed to automatically locate a .csproj file in your repository and extract its version information. It uses a smart discovery logic to find the file, prioritizing a user-provided path, then searching for the first project in a solution file, or defaulting to a .csproj file in the root directory. This action simplifies version management for .NET projects, automating the retrieval of version details for use in CI/CD workflows.

Release notes

The most reliable zero-config version extractor for .NET CI pipelines.

Extracting versions from .NET projects in CI often requires hardcoded paths or custom scripts. Smart csproj Version Grabber provides a reliable, zero-config solution.

Key Features

Smart Discovery

No more hardcoded paths. The action automatically detects your version by following this priority:

  1. User-provided path input.
  2. First project found within a .sln file.
  3. Any .csproj file in the root directory.

High Performance

Built with Node.js 20 and bundled with @vercel/ncc.

  • No Docker.
  • No external dependencies.
  • No heavy XML parsing.

Multi-Tag Support

Extracts version from <Version>, <PackageVersion>, or <AssemblyVersion>. Uses the first matching tag based on common .NET versioning patterns.

Debug Friendly

Exposes version and project_path outputs for full CI transparency.
