This is a plugin for the nu shell to manipulate strings representing versions that conform to the SemVer specification.
You can compile from source by checking out this repository and running cargo install --path ., or installing the latest version with cargo install nu_plugin_semver.
In both cases you then need to register the plugin by running register /path/to/nu_plugin_semver from within nu. Typically, the plugin can be found in $HOME/.cargo/bin/.
