Automatically increase patch-number

[jzwar]

Versioning: Major.Minor.Patch

ImO we should automatically increase the Patch number, so new features and bug fixes are automatically uploaded to pypi-repo.

Is there a github action that can do this?
What do you think?

You could add an action to the build system/commit hook.

This seems to be working towards the same problem.

The problem I see is that I am not sure how to then also use the system to push major/minor releases.

I won't do automatic patch number increase. We could consider automatic dev version bump
