Hi @larsxschneider I will try to take a look at this, if it is ok.

That sounds awesome. Can you quickly summarize and share your plan here? E.g. the question is, how do we identify the current version? Is it possible to read with jekyll the current git hash or tag? Or should we store the value in version.yml or something?

This is my plan based on a high level investigation, based on Jekyll's site configuration we can expose the github repository metadata on pages based on this https://help.github.com/articles/repository-metadata-on-github-pages/ . I am assuming, the latest release number is the version number we want. Please feel free to point me in the right direction, I am new to open source! 😄

I do not have access to github enterprise, would that be an issue?

Just as a side note, we already have a file updater/version, which contains the version number. This is currently used for packaging.

However, this might have not been the best idea—it might be better to have the version information at a single place or even just implicit, such as per looking at the latest release tag.

I just wanted to throw this in so that we don’t forget about it 😃.
