automatic-versioning

A script which will automatically increment your app package version in accordance with conventional commits

Why automatic-versioning

• Most version bumping scripts only focus on just the version bumping. automatic-versioning takes into account your git changes and automatically increments the version number based on your last commit message only if there are changes in your directory, a feature which is highly useful in monorepos.

• automatic-versioning by default, skips version bumping for special commits such as merge and revert commits.

Prerequisites

• Git installed and configured

Installation

# using npm
npm install automatic-versioning

# using yarn
yarn add automatic-versioning

Usage

• Add the following script to your package.json
  

  "scripts": {
      "bump-version": "yarn --cwd ./node_modules/automatic-versioning/ run bump-version --name=<package_name>"
  } 

• then:

# using npm
npm run bump-version

# using yarn
yarn bump-version

Usage with commitlint and husky

• Install the following dependencies

  "dependencies": {
    "@commitlint/cli": "^17.0.1",
    "@commitlint/config-conventional": "^17.0.0",
    "husky": "^4.3.8"
  }

• Add the following to your package.json
  

  "config": {
    "commitizen": {
      "path": "cz-conventional-changelog"
    }
  },
  "husky": {
    "hooks": {
      "commit-msg": "commitlint -E HUSKY_GIT_PARAMS",
      "post-commit": "HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS=1 yarn bump-version",
    }
  },
  "commitlint": {
    "extends": [
      "@commitlint/config-conventional"
    ]
  }

Commit message prefixes and associated version bumping

    - feat! - bump major version

    - feat  - bump minor version

    - fix   - bump patch version

Disable version bumping for specific commit

• Add the following to your commit message: "--no-bump"
  

  // example command
  git commit -m "feat: some feature --no-bump"

Disable --no-bump commit message edit

• By default automatic-versioning will edit the commit message in no-bump commits and remove the no-bump part from the commit message. Sometimes such as in the case of monorepos, this can prove to be a problem. To disable this behavior, add the following to your script: "--no-commit-edit"
  

  // example script:
  yarn --cwd ./node_modules/automatic-versioning/ run bump-version --name=<package_name> --no-commit-edit

Custom app directory to run incrementing script

• Add the following argument to your bump script: "--rootDir=<custom_dir>"
  

  // example script:
  yarn --cwd ./node_modules/automatic-versioning/ run bump-version --name=<package_name> --rootDir=<custom_dir>
