semvergit

semvergit is a CLI tool to manage your project's version numbers. It uses Semantic Versioning to bump the version number. The supported bump types are:

• major
• minor
• patch
• prerelease

Internal Workflow

What's actully happening when you run this tool

1. Use the latest git tag to determine the current version number.
2. Bump the version number
3. Create a new git tag
4. Push the tag to the remote

Why?

I created this tool to help me manage my project's version numbers. I wanted a simple tool that I could use in my CI/CD pipeline to bump the version number and tag the commit.

Features

❇️ Bump the version number and update the git tag in one command
❇️ Dry run mode
❇️ Verbose mode
❇️ Custom commit message*
❇️ Auto commit message*
🆕 Version 0.4+ introduces the ability to automatically update the version number in a file*

^{*Please see the limitations section below}

How to use

Simple install using pip install semvergit

Then you can use it in your project as simply as: semvergit -t patch -v (to bump the patch version) This will:

1. create the relvant tag (in this case a patch bump 0.0.x -> 0.0.x+1)
2. push it to the remote

Usage: semvergit [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  CLI for semvergit.

Limitations

Please keep in mind that when using features like commit message / auto commit message and version file the tool will try and commit the changes to the git repo.

Even though this is quite handy, it should be used mannually as it cannot be used directly in a CI/CD pipeline directed at master or main branches as it will likly fail due to the commit not being allowed without a PR.

💡 Only git tags can be pushed to the remote without a PR (and this is the main use case for this tool).
