Using Gitversiontask in VS2017 on feature gitflow branch, revision not incrementing

Question

I'm pretty new on all AZURE devops.

I did just the minimal install on my VS solution, nuget Gitversiontask in my solution, push to Azure Git pipeline and it worked with the development branch.

I created ( GitFLOW) a feature named dostuff. Made some changes on classes, then commit & push... Version feature/my-app 6.1.0-dostuff0001came out ...Nuget pack and push... all fine.

Then did an another commit, pipeline start but at Nuget Push to artifacts ...ERROR 409 (Conflict - The feed already contains 'my-app 6.1.0-dostuff0001).

pipeline

- task: NuGetCommand@2
  displayName: 'restore WinFormExtC.sln'
  inputs:
    restoreSolution: WinFormExtC/ActiveFramework.WinFormExtC.sln
    feedsToUse: config
    nugetConfigPath: NuGet/NuGet.Config

steps:
- task: VSBuild@1
  displayName: 'Build solution WinFormExtC'
  inputs:
    solution: WinFormExtC/ActiveFramework.WinFormExtC.sln
    platform: '$(BuildPlatform)'
    configuration: '$(BuildConfiguration)'

steps:
- task: NuGetCommand@2
  displayName: 'NuGet pack WinFormExtC'
  inputs:
    command: pack
    packagesToPack: WinFormExtC/Package.nuspec
    versioningScheme: byEnvVar
    versionEnvVar: GitVersion.NuGetVersion
    includeSymbols: true

Your build pipeline references an undefined variable named ‘Parameters.searchPatternPush’. Create or edit the build pipeline for this YAML file, define the variable on the Variables tab. See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=865972

steps:
- task: NuGetCommand@2
  displayName: 'NuGet push'
  inputs:
    command: push
    packagesToPush: '$(Parameters.searchPatternPush)'
    publishVstsFeed: '505cb4b9-0633-4d83-b4b6-1e5fc7ad020f'

Question: How can I get the my-app 6.1.0-dostuff0001 increase or change when I queue the pipeline in Azure devops and the build task increment the version of feature branch?

Please remember that I'm new to all this Build, yml, config etc. concept.

How did you push the packages in Azure pipeline? Could you please share your pipeline settings? (Capture screenshots for your build definition) — Andy Li-MSFT

Why is my version not incrementing?

GitVersion calculates the semantic version, this will only change once per release. Read more at version increments

So, to make it incremental we can set and use a config file : GitVersion.yml. Below GitVersion.yml for your reference, it works for me when trigger from master branch.

mode: Mainline
tag-prefix: '[vV]'
commit-message-incrementing: MergeMessageOnly
branches:
  feature:
    regex: feature?[/-]
    source-branches: ['develop']
  release:
    increment: Minor
    regex: release?[/-]
  develop:
    is-mainline: true
    increment: Patch
    regex: develop$
  master:
    regex: master$
