Developed a CMake-native version generation system for the schism-dev/schism repository, replacing the previous Python-based gen_version.py script. This migration integrated Git commands directly into the CMake build process, eliminating Python as a build dependency and enhancing cross-platform compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux. By consolidating versioning logic within the build system, the work improved portability, streamlined onboarding, and reduced maintenance overhead. The solution leveraged skills in CMake, Git, and scripting, resulting in more reliable and consistent versioning during continuous integration. The approach focused on maintainability and efficiency, addressing both technical and workflow challenges within the build infrastructure.
