Next CalVer Tag

Next CalVer Tag automatically calculates and displays the next Calendar Version (CalVer) Git tag for your project directly in the VS Code status bar.

It analyzes your existing Git tags, determines the latest release, and generates the next version based on the current year and ISO week number — ready to copy with a single click.

✨ Features

• 📅 Generates next CalVer tag based on current year and ISO week
• 🔎 Detects the Git repository automatically
• 🏷 Supports two tag formats:
  • YY.WW.PP → 25.07.03
  • YYWW.PP → 2507.03
• 📌 Displays next version directly in the status bar
• 📋 One-click copy to clipboard
• 🧠 Automatically updates when:
  • Active editor changes

🧮 How Versioning Works

The extension follows a Calendar Versioning (CalVer) strategy:

YY.WW.PP

Where:

• YY — last two digits of the year
• WW — ISO week number
• PP — incremental release number within the same week

Example

If the current week is week 07 of 2025:

• No previous tag → 25.07.01
• Last tag 25.07.01 → 25.07.02
• New week starts → 25.08.01

Compact format is also supported:

2507.01

🖥 Status Bar

The status bar shows:

🏷 Next release: 25.07.02

Hover tooltip includes:

• Project name
• Last detected tag
• Next calculated tag

Click the status bar item to copy the version to your clipboard.

⚙ Requirements

• A Git repository
• At least one open file in the workspace

If no repository or file is detected, the extension displays:
