semver-bump

This is a simple module that helps users upgrade a local JSON config file, such as package.json to a new version according to semver.

Installation

npm install -g semver-bump

Usage

semver-bump ./package.json

By default you can leave off ./package.json and it will look for that file in the current working directory.

Technically this will work on any JSON file that has a version property.

Example output

This will bump the version number according to semver
