Semankit is an CI tool that manages versioning by determining the subsequent version through the last tag and incrementing it based on the commit from the latest push.
Many developers mentally determine the version of their project, which causes inconsistencies. Others use local tools to version their code before pushing it, which wastes time. Semankit aims to save time, obtain consistent versions and enforce conventions over commit message
To update versions, Semankit relies on the format of commit messages which is the "Conventional Commits" convention and only commits with messages containing "feat" and "fix" increase the versions.
The following table shows the version increase based on the commit message:
| Commit message | Is a breaking change ? | Version increase |
|---|---|---|
| fix: issue one | No | Patch |
| fix: issue two | Yes | Minor |
| fix(signup): issue one | No | Patch |
| fix(signup): issue two | Yes | Minor |
| feat: feature one | No | Minor |
| feat(signup): feature one | Yes | Major |
