Modea Increment Version Library

A npm package that increments build and version numbers.

What it does

Increments version and build numbers in specified files.

Optionally it can also follow git flow on a bitbucket repo.

For example: you have just finished a new feature and pushed that onto your dev branch. If you run this script, it can create a new branch, increment build and version numbers and then PR that branch onto master and dev and merge those PR's if no conflicts arise.

Install

npm install @modea/modea-increment-version

Usage

Once installed create a file at the base of your repo with the file name .incrementrc

In that file enter a valid json list of files you want changed and where, and optionally git information if you want the script to push to git

You can then run

increment [major | minor | patch | build]

Where major increments the first version number, minor the second, and patch the third

so

increment -t patch

on version 1.9.3 build 27 would increment to 1.9.4 and 28

increment -t build

on version 1.9.3 build 27 would increment to 1.9.3 and 28

Ticket Prefix

ticketPrefix: 'BH23'

Future Work

• Command line options for
  • path to config file
  • changing only specified files out of the ones in the config file
  • turning git on or off
• git changes
  • Use with github ci as well as bitbucket pipeline
  • custom commit messages
  • tagging support
  • just pushing straight back to specified branch (no PR's)
