Too many times this year I've found myself struggling to improve my [blog pipeline](https://blog.ndumas.com/series/blogging-with-quartz/) because I couldn't keep track of when code stopped and started doing what it was supposed to do. This was entirely my own fault, I was not observing best-practices: Too many times this year I've found myself struggling to improve my [blog pipeline](https://blog.ndumas.com/series/blogging-with-quartz/) because I couldn't keep track of when code stopped and started doing what it was supposed to do. This was entirely my own fault, I was not observing best-practices:
- I wasn't using semantic versioning - I wasn't using semantic versioning
- I wasn't tagging - I wasn't tagging
- all development happened on main - all development happened on main
- etc etc - etc etc
All of this worked well enough for private use monoliths, one-offs and skunkworks projects but these Drone pipelines presented a new challenge. All of this worked well enough for private use monoliths, one-offs and skunkworks projects but these Drone pipelines presented a new challenge.

After some digging I found resources that helped me build a Makefile to take care of things. That first Makefile added a **lot** but I'm only going to cover the tooling for semantic versioning and git tagging; the rest of that Makefile was go cross-compilation and docker image stuff that I'm replacing with bazel.

To handle automatically incrementing semver values, I landed on `bump`. Because it's written in Go, I was able to fork it and patch a few minor issues and make sure that it keeps working for the foreseeable future.

[bump](https://github.com/guilhem/bump) is a golang utility that'll read a git repository's tags and apply a [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/) compliant version increment. `bump patch` bumps `v0.0.1` to `v0.0.2`. `bump major` goes from `v2.24.5` to `v3.0.0`. You get the idea.

All together, this suite works perfectly for handling tagging. I don't have a super rigorous policy on what constitutes a major, minor, or patch version but being able to `make bump-patch` to tag a specific known-good commit made a world of difference. My drone pipelines became drastically more reliable thanks to version pinning. All together, this suite works perfectly for handling tagging.

# But what about Bazel? # But what about Bazel?
Bazel isn't directly involved in manipulating tags yet. To do that, I'll need to add bazel build files to the `bump` repo. I'll cover that in the next post, where I cover how to use bazel's stamping funtionality. Bazel isn't directly involved in manipulating tags yet.
