Customizing Versioning Logic
Explore how to customize versioning logic in Jenkins X by adding prefixes and suffixes to semantic versions. Understand Kubernetes release versions and learn strategies for adapting Jenkins X versioning to suit your CI/CD pipelines. Discover how to modify your Makefile or pipeline for dynamic version generation and consider alternative versioning schemes to fit your development needs.
We'll cover the following...
