Generate a Mock Artifact Version Tag in Python
Creates a mock build artifact version tag from a branch name and build number, with a date stamp.
import re
from datetime import datetime
def mock_version_tag(branch_name: str, build_number: int) -> str:
"""Generate a mock build artifact version tag from branch and build number."""
branch_slug = re.sub(r'[^a-zA-Z0-9]+', '-', branch_name).strip('-').lower()
date_part = datetime.utcnow().strftime('%Y%m%…
Generate a docker-compose.yml with mock services in Python
