DotBump is a utility for managing the version for a .NET Core project according to semver.
It's useful for projects that are published to a NuGet feed.
DotBump is a global cli tool, and can be installed as such:
$ dotnet tool install -g Pha3l.DotBumpThere's not much to it at the moment. There are three actions supported.
Creates a new .version file at the current working directory with initial version 1.0.0
$ dotbump initBump the major version
$ cat .version # => 1.0.0
$ dotbump bump major
$ cat .version # => 2.0.0major can be replaced with minor or patch to bump the corresponding semver component
Once you have the .version file, it can be used with dotnet pack or other tools to specify the version.
I'm using it like this:
$ dotnet pack /p:Version=$(cat .version)This, unlike having the version hardcoded in the .csproj, allows easily writing a shell script that will bump the patch version before pushing a new version to a NuGet feed.
