Can you add a variable for the version in the commit message?

npm version does this. See https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/version.html

If supplied with -m or --message config option, npm will use it as a commit message when creating a version commit. If the message config contains %s then that will be replaced with the resulting version number. For example: npm version patch -m "Upgrade to %s for reasons"

So%s becomes the version - bump --premajor --lock --commit "release %s to the wild"

Thanks!

The --commit option allows you to specify a custom commit message. The version number is appended to your message, so if you do bump --commit "Upgrading to v" then the commit message will be Updating to vX.X.X.

I do like the idea of being able to put the version number anywhere in the message via a placeholder. And I think I can add that in a backward-compatible way, too. Basically, if the message contains the placeholder, then replace it with the version number. Otherwise, just append the version number.

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

The version number is appended to your message...
Ah, I didn't realize the that. That'll actually work for what I need then.

Thank you, very much!

I just released version 5.0.0, which resolves this issue.
