starting_version

If you’re using:

• Tag-based release (not recommended)

• File-based release (recommended)

without any existing tag or version file respectively, you’ll get some initial version, like 0.0.1

You can change this version by setting up starting_version option in your config file:

setup.py filepyproject.toml file

import setuptools

setuptools.setup(
    ...,
    setup_requires=["setuptools-git-versioning>=2.0,<3"],
    setuptools_git_versioning={
        "enabled": True,
        "starting_version": "1.0.0",  # <---
    },
)

Note

This option is completely ignored if Execute some callback function to get current version schema is used.
