Semantic Versioning Tool

An easy to use CLI tool to manage your projects current version and its upgrades according to the Semantic Versioning specification.

Getting Started

Install

If you already have golang installed you can install by running the command:

go install github.com/maykonlsf/semver-cli/cmd/semver@latest

check install

Check if the semver was instaled running the command:

semver

Init semver

To start managing your project versions enter into the project folder, then run:

semver init

This command will start the versioning based on release version v1.0.0. If you want to start with another version number you car run instead:

semver init  \
    --release [base release version] \
    [ --alpha [curent alpha number] ] \
    [ --beta [current beta number] ] \
    [ --rc [current release candiate number] ] \
    [--force] # to override an already initialized semver in the current directory.
