GitVersion package

AzureDevops task

What are you seeing?

Azure DevOps task: gitversion/execute@3.1.1 always overrides $(Build.BuildNumber) with the FullSemVer value.

The problem with this behavior is that FullSemVer appends a suffix (e.g., +88) to the version, which is incompatible with tools like docker build that require a clean version format. This limits the usability of the version number in such scenarios.

Using overrideConfig does not change anything.

inputs:
    overrideConfig: |
        update-build-number=false

What is expected?

It would be ideal to have the ability to choose which Version Variables from GitVersion are set into $(Build.BuildNumber). For example, allowing the use of SemVer instead of FullSemVer would produce a cleaner version number (1.2.3 instead of 1.2.3+88), which is more compatible with tools like docker build.

Steps to Reproduce

Probably this one should be parametrized:
https://github.com/GitTools/actions/blob/main/src/tools/gitversion/tool.ts#L73

Output log or link to your CI build (if appropriate).

The build from a branch got next logs
