This is an interim fork of the excellent project that can be found here: https://github.com/peritus/bumpversion
Unfortunately it seems like development has been stuck for some time and no activity has been seen from the author, to that end this project is a drop-in replacement that merges in some of the more important fixes.
Hopefully we can merge back into the original bumpversion and carry on development there.
Version-bump your software with a single command!
A small command line tool to simplify releasing software by updating all version strings in your source code by the correct increment. Also creates commits and tags:
- version formats are highly configurable
- works without any VCS, but happily reads tag information from and writes commits and tags to Git and Mercurial if available
- just handles text files, so it's not specific to any programming language
- supports Python2, Python3 and Pypy
You can download and install the latest version of this software from the Python package index (PyPI) as follows:
pip install --upgrade bump2version
Please find the changelog here: CHANGELOG.md
There are two modes of operation: On the command line for single-file operation
and using a configuration file (bumpversion.cfg) for more complex multi-file operations.
bump2version [options] part [file]
required
The part of the version to increase, e.g. minor.
Valid values include those given in the --serialize / --parse option.
Example bumping 0.5.1 to 0.6.0:
bump2version --current-version 0.5.1 minor src/VERSION
[optional]
default: none
The file that will be modified.
If not given, the list of [bumpversion:file:…] sections from the
configuration file will be used. If no files are mentioned on the
configuration file either, are no files will be modified.
Example bumping 1.1.9 to 2.0.0:
bump2version --current-version 1.1.9 major setup.py
All options can optionally be specified in a config file called
.bumpversion.cfg so that once you know how bump2version needs to be
configured for one particular software package, you can run it without
specifying options later. You should add that file to VCS so others can also
bump versions.
Options on the command line take precedence over those from the config file, which take precedence over those derived from the environment and then from the defaults.
Example .bumpversion.cfg:
[bumpversion]
current_version = 0.2.9
commit = True
tag = True
[bumpversion:file:setup.py]
If no .bumpversion.cfg exists, bump2version will also look into
setup.cfg for configuration.
General configuration is grouped in a [bumpversion] section.
required
default: none
The current version of the software package before bumping.
Also available as --current-version (e.g. bump2version --current-version 0.5.1 patch setup.py)
[optional]
default: none
The version of the software package after the increment. If not given will be automatically determined.
Also available as --new-version (e.g. to go from 0.5.1 directly to 0.6.1: bump2version --current-version 0.5.1 --new-version 0.6.1 patch setup.py).
[optional]
default: False (Don't create a tag)
Whether to create a tag, that is the new version, prefixed with the character
"v". If you are using git, don't forget to git-push with the
--tags flag.
Also available on the command line as (--tag | --no-tag).
[optional]
default: False (Don't sign tags)
Whether to sign tags.
Also available on the command line as (--sign-tags | --no-sign-tags).
[optional]
default: v{new_version}
The name of the tag that will be created. Only valid when using --tag / tag = True.
This is templated using the Python Format String Syntax.
Available in the template context are current_version and new_version
as well as current_[part] and new_[part] (e.g. 'current_major'
or 'new_patch').
In addtion, all environment variables are exposed, prefixed with $.
You can also use the variables now or utcnow to get a current timestamp. Both accept
datetime formatting (when used like as in {now:%d.%m.%Y}).
Also available as command-line flag tag_name. Example usage:
bump2version --tag_name 'release-{new_version}' patch
[optional]
default: False (Don't create a commit)
Whether to create a commit using git or Mercurial.
Also available as (--commit | --no-commit).
In many projects it is common to have a pre-commit hook that runs prior to a
commit and in case of failure aborts the commit. For some use cases it might
be desired that when bumping a version and having commit = True, the
pre-commit hook should perform slightly different actions than in regular
commits. For example run an extended set of checks only for actual releases of
the software. To allow the pre-commit hooks to distinguish a bumpversion
commit, the BUMPVERSION_CURRENT_VERSION and BUMPVERSION_NEW_VERSION
environment variables are set when executing the commit command.
[optional]
default: Bump version: {current_version} → {new_version}
The commit message to use when creating a commit. Only valid when using --commit / commit = True.
This is templated using the Python Format String Syntax.
Available in the template context are current_version and new_version
as well as current_[part] and new_[part] (e.g. 'current_major'
or 'new_patch').
In addition, all environment variables are exposed, prefixed with $.
You can also use the variables now or utcnow to get a current timestamp. Both accept
datetime formatting (when used like as in {now:%d.%m.%Y}).
Also available as command-line flag --message. Example usage:
bump2version --message '[{now:%Y-%m-%d}] Jenkins Build {$BUILD_NUMBER}: {new_version}' patch)
A version string consists of one or more parts, e.g. the version 1.0.2
has three parts, separated by a dot (.) character. In the default
configuration these parts are named major, minor, patch, however you can
customize that using the parse/serialize option.
By default all parts considered numeric, that is their initial value is 0
and they are increased as integers. Also, the value 0 is considered to be
optional if it's not needed for serialization, i.e. the version 1.4.0 is
equal to 1.4 if {major}.{minor} is given as a serialize value.
For advanced versioning schemes, non-numeric parts may be desirable (e.g. to
identify alpha or beta versions
to indicate the stage of development, the flavor of the software package or
a release name). To do so, you can use a [bumpversion:part:…] section
containing the part's name (e.g. a part named release_name is configured in
a section called [bumpversion:part:release_name].
The following options are valid inside a part configuration:
default: numeric (i.e. 0, 1, 2, …)
Explicit list of all values that will be iterated when bumping that specific part.
Example::
[bumpversion:part:release_name]
values =
witty-warthog
ridiculous-rat
marvelous-mantis
default: The first entry in values =.
If the value of the part matches this value it is considered optional, i.e.
it's representation in a --serialize possibility is not required.
Example::
[bumpversion]
current_version = 1.alpha
parse = (?P<num>\d+)\.(?P<release>.*)
serialize =
{num}.{release}
{num}
[bumpversion:part:release]
optional_value = gamma
values =
alpha
beta
gamma
Here, bump2version release would bump 1.alpha to 1.beta. Executing
bump2version release again would bump 1.beta to 1, because
release being gamma is configured optional.
default: The first entry in values =.
When the part is reset, the value will be set to the value specified here.
This configuration is in the section: [bumpversion:file:…]
default: (?P<major>\d+)\.(?P<minor>\d+)\.(?P<patch>\d+)
Regular expression (using Python regular expression syntax) on how to find and parse the version string.
Is required to parse all strings produced by serialize =. Named matching
groups ("(?P<name>...)") provide values to as the part argument.
Also available as --parse
default: {major}.{minor}.{patch}
Template specifying how to serialize the version parts back to a version string.
This is templated using the Python Format String Syntax.
Available in the template context are parsed values of the named groups
specified in parse = as well as all environment variables (prefixed with
$).
Can be specified multiple times, bumpversion will try the serialization formats beginning with the first and choose the last one where all values can be represented like this::
serialize =
{major}.{minor}
{major}
Given the example above, the new version 1.9 will be serialized as
1.9, but the version 2.0 will be serialized as 2.
Also available as --serialize. Multiple values on the command line are
given like --serialize {major}.{minor} --serialize {major}
default: {current_version}
Template string how to search for the string to be replaced in the file. Useful if the remotest possibility exists that the current version number might be present multiple times in the file and you mean to only bump one of the occurences. Can be multiple lines, templated using Python Format String Syntax
default: {new_version}
Template to create the string that will replace the current version number in the file.
Given this requirements.txt::
Django>=1.5.6,<1.6
MyProject==1.5.6
using this .bumpversion.cfg will ensure only the line containing
MyProject will be changed::
[bumpversion]
current_version = 1.5.6
[bumpversion:file:requirements.txt]
search = MyProject=={current_version}
replace = MyProject=={new_version}
Can be multiple lines, templated using Python Format String Syntax.
Most of the configuration values above can also be given as an option on the command-line. Additionally, the following options are available:
--dry-run, -n
Don't touch any files, just pretend. Best used with --verbose.
--allow-dirty
Normally, bumpversion will abort if the working directory is dirty to protect
yourself from releasing unversioned files and/or overwriting unsaved changes.
Use this option to override this check.
--verbose
Print useful information to stderr
--list
List machine readable information to stdout for consumption by other
programs.
Example output::
current_version=0.0.18
new_version=0.0.19
-h, --help
Print help and exit
If you need to use the version generated by bumpversion in a script you can make use of
the --list option, combined with grep and sed.
Say for example that you are using git-flow to manage your project and want to automatically
create a release. When you issue git flow release start you already need to know the
new version, before applying the change.
The standard way to get it in a bash script is
bump2version --dry-run --list <part> | grep <field name> | sed -r s,"^.*=",,
where is as usual the part of the version number you are updating. You need to specify
--dry-run to avoid bumpversion actually bumping the version number.
For example, if you are updating the minor number and looking for the new version number this becomes
bump2version --dry-run --list minor | grep new_version | sed -r s,"^.*=",,
