Examples

Default Behavior (no arguments)

bump

When run without any arguments, the bump command will do the following:

• Prompt the user to select the bump type (major, minor, prerelease, etc.)
• Update the version number in package.json and package-lock.json
• Run any npm version scripts (preversion, version, or postversion)
• It will NOT commit, tag, or push to git.

Bump Without Prompting

You can specify an explicit version number:

bump 1.23.456
bump 1.23.456-beta.1

Or you can specify a release type:

bump major
bump patch
bump prerelease

For pre-releases, the default identifier is "beta". You can change it using the --preid argument:

bump premajor --preid alpha

All of the above commands do the following:

• Update the version number in package.json and package-lock.json
• Run any npm version scripts (preversion, version, or postversion)
• It will NOT commit, tag, or push to git.

Git Commit

You can use the --commit argument by itself to prompt the user for the version number. If you don't specify a commit message, then it defaults to "release vX.X.X". If you do specify a commit message, then the version number will be appended to it. Or you can insert %s placeholders in the message, and they'll be replaced with the version number instead.

bump --commit
bump --commit "This is release v"
bump --commit "The v%s release"

You can also specify a release type instead of prompting the user:

bump major --commit
bump minor --commit "This is release v"
bump patch --commit "The v%s release"

The above commands do the following:

• Update the version number in package.json and package-lock.json
• Run any npm version scripts (preversion, version, or postversion)
• Commit the package.json and package-lock.json files to git
• The commit will NOT be tagged
• The commit will NOT be pushed to the remote

Git Tag

The --commit argument does not tag the commit by default. You can use the --tag argument to do that. You can optionally specify a tag name, which can contain %s placeholders, just like the commit message.

You don't need to specify the --commit argument, since it's implied by --tag. Unless you want to customize the commit message.

bump --tag
bump major --tag "v%s tag"
bump patch --commit "release v" --tag "v"

The above commands do the following:

• Update the version number in package.json and package-lock.json
• Run any npm version scripts (preversion, version, or postversion)
• Commit the package.json and package-lock.json files to git
• Tag the commit
• The commit will NOT be pushed to the remote

Git Push

The --push argument pushes the git commit and tags.

bump --commit --push
bump major --tag --push
bump patch --tag "v%s tag" --push
bump prerelease --commit "release v" --tag "v" --push

Specifying Files to Update

All of the bump commands shown above operate on the package.json and package-lock.json files by default. You can specify a custom list of files and/or glob patterns to update instead.

Note: If you specify your own file list, then the package.json and package-lock.json files will not be updated by default. You need to explicitly include them in your file list if you want them updated.

bump README.md
bump package.json package-lock.json README.md
bump *.json *.md

Version Scripts

version-bump-prompt will execute your preversion, version, and postversion scripts, just like the npm version command does. If your package.json file contains any or all of these scripts, then they will be executed in the following order:

• The preversion script runs before the version is updated (and before the version prompt is shown)
• The version script runs after the version is updated, but before git commit and git tag
• The postversion script runs after git commit and git tag, but before git push
