bump-everywhere

🚀 Automate versioning, changelog creation, README updates and GitHub releases using GitHub Actions,npm, docker or bash.

Features

🤖 Allows you to automatically:

• Bump your semantic git tag by increasing the patch version.
• Create & commit a changelog file.
• If npm project then bump package.json version and commit.
• Check README.md file, if it has references to older version, update with never version.
• Create a release on GitHub with auto-generated release notes.

✅ Other features include:

• Zero-configuration for most use-cases, but can still be customized.
• It supports safe re-runs, it means that if you can run it for an already bumped or tagged repository, it'll not increase the version as everything is still up-to-date. It protects against recursive runs.

Usage

Option 1. Use GitHub actions

- uses: undergroundwires/bump-everywhere@master
  with:
    # Repository name with owner to bump & release. For example, undergroundwires/bump-everywhere
    # (Optional) Default: ${{ github.repository  }}
    repository: ''

    # Name of the user who will do the bump commit
    # (Optional) Default: ${{ github.actor }}
    user: ''

    # Commit message that will be used in the bump commit
    # (Optional) Default: ⬆️ bump everywhere to {{version}}
    commit-message: ''

    # Personal access token (PAT) used to clone & push to the repository.
    # If you use default, it'll not trigger other actions, but your own PAT then it triggers new actions
    # (Optional) Default: ${{ github.token }}
    git-token: ''

    # The type of the GitHub release
    # Options: 'release' | 'prerelease' | 'draft' | 'none' (does not release)
    # (Optional) Default: 'release'
    release-type: ''

    # Personal access token (PAT) used to release to GitHub.
    # Used only if release-type is not "none"
    # If you use default, it'll not trigger other actions, but your own PAT then it triggers new actions
    # (Optional) Default: ${{ github.token }}
    release-token: ''

    # Git branch to push the changes such as version tags, CHANGELOG file, version changes...
    # Configuring this should not be needed for most use-cases.
    # Use this only if you DO NOT use a single main default branch (e.g. `master` or `main`).
    # (Optional) Default: Default "git clone" behavior. Checks out to default branch of remote.
    branch: ''

Option 2. Use Docker

• To get the image you can either:

  • Pull from docker hub using docker pull undergroundwires/bump-everywhere:latest
  • Or build image yourself using docker build . --tag undergroundwires/bump-everywhere:latest

• Run with arguments:

    args=(
      # Required:
      --repository "undergroundwires/privacy.sexy"
      --user "bot-user"
      --git-token "GitHub PAT for pushes"
      --release-type "prerelease"
      --release-token "GitHub PAT for releases"
      --commit-message "⬆️ bump to {{version}}"
      # Optional:
      --branch 'custom branch name'
    )
    docker run undergroundwires/bump-everywhere "${args[@]}"

Option 3. Use npm

1. (Optionally) install globally: npm install -g bump-everywhere
   • or locally: npm install bump-every-where --save-dev
2. Run npx bump-everywhere <parameters...>
   • See docker example for parameter usage

Option 4. Use scripts

1. Ensure bash (4 or newer), git, curl, jq exists in your environment
   • On Alpine: apk add bash git curl jq
   • On Windows: choco install git curl jq and use Git Bash
2. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/undergroundwires/bump-everywhere
   • or optionally add this repository as git submodule: git submodule add https://github.com/undergroundwires/bump-everywhere
3. Call the script: bash "scripts/bump-everywhere.sh" <parameters>
   • See docker example for parameter usage

Updating minor & major versions

bump-everywhere only increases your patch versions. You manually tag your last commit to update major & minor versions.

E.g. :

  git commit -m "bumped version to 1.4.0" --allow-empty
  git tag 1.4.0
  git push && git push origin 1.4.0

All scripts

You can also use following scripts individually (check script files for usage, prerequisites & dependencies):

• bump-and-tag-version.sh: Automate versioning.
• create-github-release.sh: Automate creating GitHub releases
• print-changelog.sh: Automate creation of changelogs, e.g. CHANGELOG.md.
• configure-github-repo.sh: Set-up CI/CD user for current repository.
• log-commits.sh: Filters & logs commits as bullet points in markdown form.
• bump-npm-version.sh: Updates packages.json to match the latest version.
• bump-readme-versions.sh: Updates old references to README.md to the latest version.
