Usage with CI

First, integrate into your CI pipeline after the tests:

- npm install -g npm-increase-version
- npm-increase-version --ci

To work, your commits must be the following:

• For a major release: release:major <your commit message>
• For a minor release: release:minor <your commit message> or release: <your commit message>
• For a fix: release:fix <your commit message>

If you just want to commit without releasing, just commit as you would normally; as long as your commit message does not start with release: it will be fine.
