  --major  Force major version.
  --minor  Force minor version.
  --patch  Force patch version.
  --noop   No-operations mode, finds the new version number without changing it.
  --post   If used with the changelog command, the changelog will be posted to the release api.
  --retry  Retry the same release, do not bump.
  --help   Show this message and exit.

Commands

• version - Create a new release. Will change the version, commit it and tag it.
• publish - Runs version before pushing to git and uploading to pypi.
• changelog - Generates the changelog for the next release.
