Version-bump your software with a single command

bumpversion

Version-bump your software with a single command!

A small command line tool to simplify releasing software by updating all version strings in your source code by the correct increment:

• version formats are highly configurable
• just handles text files, so it's not specific to any programming language

Usage

Currently there is only one way to use it: you need .bumpversion.cfg and setup.py files. The setup.py file won't be changed, but .bumpversion.cfg will be. Actually the rule is next: - compare version in setup.py with version in .bumpversion.cfg if minor/major are the same - update the patch from .bumpversion.cfg and setup.py. If minor or major are different - use the version from setup.py and update only .bumpversion.cfg

Configuration

Put into .bumpversion.cfg information about the current version.

Most of the configuration values above can also be given as an option. Additionally, the following options are available:

--dry-run, -n

Don't touch any files, just pretend. Best used with --verbose.
