About This Skill
What it does
The paulrberg-bump-release skill automates version bumping and release creation in software projects. It can increment semantic versions (major, minor, patch) based on commit messages and generate Git tags for releases. This simplifies the process of releasing new software versions while ensuring proper versioning practices.
When to use it
- You need to automate the process of incrementing a project's version number.
- You want to create Git tags automatically when releasing a new version.
- Your team follows semantic versioning principles and wants to streamline the release workflow.
- You are looking for a tool that can handle both minor and major releases based on commit message analysis.
Key capabilities
- Semantic Version Increment (major, minor, patch)
- Git Tag Generation
- Commit Message Analysis for Release Type Determination
Example prompts
- "Bump the version to the next minor release."
- "Create a new Git tag for the current version."
- “Analyze recent commits and determine if a major release is needed, then bump accordingly.”
Tips & gotchas
- The skill relies on commit messages to determine the appropriate semantic version increment. Ensure your team follows consistent commit message conventions.
