About This Skill
What it does
The release-bump skill automates incrementing version numbers in project files. It can update semantic versions (e.g., 1.2.3 to 1.2.4) within a specified file or across an entire repository, and supports various formats like package.json, pom.xml, and more. This helps streamline software release processes by ensuring accurate versioning.
When to use it
- Automated releases: Increment the version number when deploying a new build to a staging or production environment.
- Dependency updates: Automatically bump versions after merging pull requests that include dependency changes.
- Internal tooling: Update version numbers in internal tools and libraries as part of their development cycle.
- Release branches: Increment the version number when creating a release branch from
main.
Key capabilities
- Supports various file formats (package.json, pom.xml, etc.)
- Increments semantic versions (major, minor, patch)
- Can operate on single files or entire repositories
- Automates versioning tasks within software development workflows.
Example prompts
- "Bump the version in
package.jsonfrom 1.0.0 to 1.0.1." - "Increment the patch version in all
pom.xmlfiles in this repository." - “Update the version number in my project’s main configuration file.”
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure you have appropriate permissions to modify the target files or repositories.
- Review any changes made by the skill before committing them to your codebase, especially when operating on entire repositories.
