title: Is it possible to add a version number using git / github
body: <p>I'm using Github, and realized they have a nice little api for accessing repo information like commits, who did it, etc.</p>
  
  <p>This would be a great way to show previous versions of the project on an external site, but I was wondering if there is a known way to add a Version Number to the master commit?</p>
  
  <p>So the version number would either automatically increase with each master commit or I can manually set it.</p>
  
  <p>I know I can add it in the notes, but I'm not familiar if there is a way to separate it.</p>
