@inova/semver

semver

CLI for managing semantic versioning in git repos.

Installation

Local : For node projects we recommend installing @inova/semver locally and running the semver command with npx: npm install --save-dev @inova/semver

Then in the CI environment: npx semver bump

Global : For other project types you can install @inova/semver globally: npm install -g @inova/semver

Configuration

You can create a .semver.json file in the root dir of your workspace, if you like to override the default configuration.

The config options:

betaBranchName

Name of the branch that produces the beta builds.

Default is set to main

releaseBranchName

Name of the branch that produces the rc and stable builds. It can be defined as a glob in which case the definition will be expanded to one per matching branch existing in the repository.

Default is set to releases/*.

commitMessageFormat

By default semver uses Angular Commit Message Conventions. The commit message format can be changed with this commitMessageFormat property.

Check conventional-changelog-preset-loader for further information.

releaseCandidate

Indicates whether the current branch produces rc builds. This is only relevant for release branches. Set this to false to produce stable builds from your release branch

Default is set to true.

commitTypesToIgnore

Commit types to ignore.

Default: ci, repo, docs, test, chore, refactor, build.

Commands

To show the commands list you can run npx semver --help or just semver --help if you installed @inova/semver globally.

To see what options the command support run semver [command] -h eg. semver bump -h.
