Use rake task for automation control via rake, for exampe: https://gist.github.com/muxcmux/1805946

And then in config/initializers/version.rb: module SiteInfo class Application

def self.version
  "v#{self.read_version}"
end

def self.read_version
  begin
    File.read 'VERSION'
  rescue
    raise "VERSION file not found or unreadable."
  end
end
