# bver 0.1.1
> A bump-version tool for multi-language projects

---
## Features
- **Multi-format version support**: Handles Python (PEP 440), Semver (npm/Cargo), and simple `major.minor.patch` versions
- **Automatic version casting**: Convert between version formats when needed (e.g., `1.2.3a1` to `1.2.3-alpha.1`)
- **Interactive TUI**: Review and selectively apply version changes with a terminal UI
- **Git integration**: Automatic commits, tags, and pushes
- **Pre-commit hook support**: Run pre-commit hooks before committing version bumps
- **Flexible configuration**: Configure via `bver.toml`, `pyproject.toml`, `package.json`, or `Cargo.toml`
## Installation
### macOS / Linux
```bash
### Windows (PowerShell)
```powershell
### With pip / uv
```bash
uv tool install bver-cli
# or: pip install bver-cli
```
### From source (with Cargo)
```bash
cargo install bver
```
## Usage
```bash
# Show current version
bver current
# Show full configuration
bver config
# Bump version
bver bump patch # 1.2.3 -> 1.2.4
bver bump minor # 1.2.3 -> 1.3.0
bver bump major # 1.2.3 -> 2.0.0
# Pre-release versions
bver bump alpha # 1.2.3 -> 1.2.3a1
bver bump beta # 1.2.3 -> 1.2.3b1
bver bump rc # 1.2.3 -> 1.2.3rc1
# Post-release and dev versions
bver bump post # 1.2.3 -> 1.2.3.post1
bver bump dev # 1.2.3 -> 1.2.3.dev1
# Release (strip pre-release suffix)
bver bump release # 1.2.3a1 -> 1.2.3
# Set explicit version
bver bump 2.0.0
# Force git operations (overwrite tags, force push)
bver bump patch --force
```
## Configuration
### Standalone (`bver.toml`)
```toml
current-version = "1.2.3"
# Optional settings
context-lines = 3 # Lines of context in diff preview
[git]
tag-template = "{new-version}" # Template for git tag name
commit-template = "Bump version from {current-version} to {new-version}"
[[file]]
src = "src/version.py"
kind = "python" # pep440
[[file]]
src = "package.json"
kind = "semver" # javascript, rust, ...
[[file]]
src = "test.txt"
kind = "simple" # strict major.minor.patch format.
```
#### Template Variables
The `tag-template` and `commit-template` settings support these variables:
- `{current-version}` - the version before bumping
- `{new-version}` - the version after bumping
Example: `tag-template = "v{new-version}"` produces tags like `v1.2.3`.
### Python projects (`pyproject.toml`)
```toml
[project]
version = "1.2.3"
[tool.bver.git]
action = "commit-tag-and-push"
[[tool.bver.file]]
src = "src/mypackage/__init__.py"
kind = "python"
```
### Node.js projects (`package.json`)
```json
{
"version": "1.2.3",
"bver": {
"git": {
"action": "commit-and-tag"
},
"file": [
{ "src": "src/version.ts", "kind": "semver" }
]
}
}
```
### Rust projects (`Cargo.toml`)
```toml
[package]
version = "1.2.3"
[package.metadata.bver.git]
action = "commit-and-tag"
[[package.metadata.bver.file]]
src = "src/lib.rs"
kind = "semver"
```
## Version Formats
| `any` | Any string (no validation) | `v1.2.3-custom` |
| `simple` | `major.minor.patch` | `1.2.3` |
| `python` | PEP 440 | `1.2.3a1.post1.dev1+local` |
| `semver` | Semantic Versioning | `1.2.3-alpha.1+build` |
### Version Casting
When `on-invalid-version = "cast"`, bver automatically converts versions between formats:
- **To simple**: Strips pre-release, post, dev, local, and epoch (`1.2.3a1` -> `1.2.3`)
- **To semver**: Converts Python pre-releases (`1.2.3a1` -> `1.2.3-alpha.1`)
- **To python**: Most formats are already valid PEP 440
## TUI Controls
When bumping versions, an interactive TUI shows proposed changes:
| `↑`/`↓` or `j`/`k` | Navigate changes |
| `Space` | Toggle selection |
| `a` | Select all |
| `n` | Deselect all |
| `Enter` | Apply selected changes |
| `q`/`Esc` | Cancel |
## Git Actions
| `disabled` | No git operations |
| `commit` | Stage all + commit |
| `commit-and-tag` | Stage all + commit + annotated tag |
| `commit-tag-and-push` | Stage all + commit + tag + push + push tag |
Use `--force` to overwrite existing tags and force push.
## A note on AI
* I just made AI write what I want my version bumper to be. The code in this project
is entirely written by Claude. That being said, human contributions are also welcome 😉.
