  • where 4 is a build number passed to the tool
  • where tag is generated from the branch name (or matching branch for a pull request if it can be located)

Tag restrictions

• Maximum length before truncating after any processing: 15 characters
• Non alphanumeric characters are replaced with -
• Multiple - consecutive characters are shrunk to a single one
• removes the top folder of the branch when using branches like feature/name so that tag is processed on name only

• if no suitable tag can be generated the tag prerelease will be used.
