V-Bump 🆙

V-Bump is a short utility that will help developer maintain clear versioning for their packages and projects. It works by parsing the git commit message and extracting the command and size of the commit or via command line arguments.

Getting started

Install the package with npm by running: npm install @mmpg-soft/v-bump.

How to use it

Triggering v-bump works by running v-bump in your terminal. The v-bump command takes several arguments that you can check by running v-bump -h. v-bump will by default, if no arguments are passed, try to read your latest git commit message versioning insructions. The script looks for something formatted like this: [[instruction:increment]]. A few use case would be:

• [[patch:1]]: would turn 1.0.0 into 1.0.1
• [[patch:2]]: would turn 1.0.1 into 1.0.3
• [[minor:1]]: would turn 1.4.9 into 1.5.0
• [[major:1]]: would turn 1.2.5 into 2.0.0

If you do not wish to run v-bump with automated git message instructions, you could pass some arguments as well. For most use cases, one argument is sufficient: -s (severity). Severity takes three values:

• 'patch'
• 'minor'
• 'major'

Each of those will increment the relevant number by 1 if no value is specified. The value position are described as follows: major.minor.patch (ex: 1.0.2).

If you wish to increment the severity value by more than the default 1, you could pass -i (increment) followed by the value you wish to increment. Realistic examples would be:

• v-bump -s patch -i 1: would turn 1.0.0 into 1.0.1
• v-bump -s patch -i 2: would turn 1.0.1 into 1.0.3
• v-bump -s minor -i 1: would turn 1.4.9 into 1.5.0
• v-bump -s major: would turn 1.2.5 into 2.0.0
• v-bump -s major -i 2: would turn 1.2.5 into 3.0.0
