Bump Version based on branch prefix

Smart version bumper for npm packages with branch-aware defaults

bbump, the prefix b represents branch

Features

• Interactive prompt for version selection
• Automatically suggests version bump type (minor or patch) based on branch prefix
• Creates a standardized commit with only package.json and yarn.lock/package-lock.json
• Works with both npm and yarn
• Zero configuration required

Installation

You can use npx bbump without installation (recommended). This way, you can always get latest version.

Or Install it as a dev dependency:

npm install -D bbump

or

yarn add -D bbump

Usage

Run in your project directory:

npx bbump

Or add script to your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "bumpVersion": "npx bbump"
  }
}

Or if you installed as dev dependency:

{
  "scripts": {
    "bumpVersion": "bbump"
  }
}

How It Works

The tool follows this logic:

1. Branch Detection

   • feat/, feature/, minor/ prefixes → minor bump
   • All others → patch bump

2. Package Manager
   Automatically detects whether to use npm version or yarn version

3. Git Integration
   Commits only package.json and the lockfile with message:
   "chore: bump version"
