bmp v0.2.0

Version up. No hassles.

bmp is a command line tool for updating the version number in source files.

Motivation

It’s common to have the version number of the library written in multiple places in a repository, e.g. metadata files, documetation, source code, etc.

If the version number of the library written more than 1 place, updating these numbers in every release is boring, error prone chore. bmp helps that situation with simple config file .bmp.yml which can track every occurence of the version number in a repository and updates every occurence consistently.

Install

deno install --allow-read=. --allow-write=. --allow-run=git -qf https://deno.land/x/bmp@v0.2.0/cli.ts

This installs bmp command.

Usage

Hit the below command to initialize the config file:

bmp -i # or bump --init

This creates a config file like the below:

.bmp.yml

version: 0.0.0
commit: 'chore: bump version to %.%.%'
files:
  README.md: v%.%.%

• version is the current version of your repository. You need to set this to the actuall current version number.
• commit is the commit message which is used when you perform the command bmp -c, which commits the change, and cut the tag. This field is optional, and you can delete this if you don’t want to use committing feature.
• files contains the version number patterns in files. For example, if your README.md file contains my-library v1.2.3, then you need to set this property to README.md: my-library v%.%.%. (As you can see %.%.% part represents the version number) bmp doesn’t parse your files. So you can list any files with any syntax.

Then you need to modify this file to fit the existing state of your repository. It might look something like the below, for example:

version: 0.4.3
commit: 'chore: bump version to v%.%.%'
files:
  README.md:
    - v%.%.%
    - my-lib@%.%.%
  main.ts: 'const version = "%.%.%";'

Then hit the command bmp (no options). This validates the occurencies of the patterns in each file. If the config has any error, the command shows it. If the config finds every pattern in every file, you’ll see the output like the below:

Current version: 0.4.3
Commit message: chore: bump to 0.4.3
Version patterns:
  README.md: v0.0.2
  README.md: my-lib@0.0.2
  main.ts: const version = "0.4.3";

Now you are all set. You can bump the versoin by the commands bmp -j (major), bmp -m (minor), bmp -p (patch). The tool also supports preid (like alpha.1 or beta.2). See bmp -h output for more details.

Example commands

bmp -i

Creates .bmp.yml file with placeholders.

bmp

Checks and validates the config file.

bmp -p

Bump the patch version and updates every version occurrences based on .bmp.yml config.

bmp -m for minor version bump, bmp -j for major version bump.

bmp -c

Commits the current change in the git repository with the commit message specified in .bmp.yml config and cut the tag.

bmp -pc

Patch version up, commits the change, and cut the tag.

Also bmp -mc for minor, bmp -jc for major.
