Minimalistic Semantic Versioning package for projects following Conventional Commits in a single short Python file.
In plain English, if your commit messages look like feat: add new feature or fix: bugfix, this package will automate releasing new "GIT tags" based on the commit messages.
Here is how to integrate it into your project CI:
$ pip install tinysemver
$ tinysemver --dry-run --verbose
> Current version: 1.2.2
> Next version: 1.3.0The --dry-run flag will only print the next version without changing any files.
Great for pre-release CI pipelines.
If you need more control over the default specification, here are more options:
$ tinysemver --verbose \
--major-verbs 'breaking,break,major' \
--minor-verbs 'feature,minor,add,new' \
--patch-verbs 'fix,patch,bug,improve' \
--changelog-file 'CHANGELOG.md' \
--version-file 'VERSION' \
--update-version-in 'pyproject.toml' '^version = "(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)"' \ # You can match the version with a generic wildcard: .*
--update-version-in 'package.json' '"version": "(.*)"' \ # Or stricter format: \d+\.\d+\.\d+
--update-version-in 'CITATION.cff' '^version: (.*)' \
--update-major-version-in 'include/stringzilla/stringzilla.h' '^#define STRINGZILLA_VERSION_MAJOR (.*)' \
--update-minor-version-in 'include/stringzilla/stringzilla.h' '^#define STRINGZILLA_VERSION_MINOR (.*)' \
--update-patch-version-in 'include/stringzilla/stringzilla.h' '^#define STRINGZILLA_VERSION_PATCH (.*)' \

$ tinysemver --helpIn the past I was using semantic-release for my 10+ projects. At some point, a breaking change in the dependencies broke all my projects CI pipelines for a month, affecting dozens of tech companies using those libraries. I felt miserable trying to trace the issue and reluctant to go through 363K lines of low-quality JavaScript code to find the bug. Yes, it's 363K lines of code:

Probably very useful for 2-3 projects, I didn't need to support any of them yet.
Assembling RegEx queries can be hard. Luckily, there aren't too many files to update in most projects. Below is an example of a pipeline for the USearch project, that has bindings to 10 programming languages. Feel free to add other sources and examples.
