Get git last tag into Azure pipeline variable

The code I tested was also incorrect. To get the git last tag, you could use following powershell scripts, it works fine on my side:

cd $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)
$Latesttag = $(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1))

Write-Host "The latest git tag is $Latesttag "

enter image description here

You could check this thread for some details.

Hope this helps.

  • That worked thanks, But what's wrong with $(git for-each-ref refs/tags --sort=-taggerdate --format="%(refname:short)" --count=1) ? It seems to return also the correct value. – Khaled May 15 '20 at 08:27

It was not clear but part of the question was how to set an Azure pipeline variable in powerShell task 

$tag = $(git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1))
Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=version]$tag"

version is the variable to set
