svbump

A CLI tool for bumping semantic versions in various config file formats.

Supported Formats

  • JSON (package.json, deno.json, etc.)
  • TOML (Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml, etc.)
  • YAML (app.yaml, etc.)

Commands

Read Version

Print the current version to stdout:

svbump read <SELECTOR> <FILE>

Examples:

svbump read version package.json
svbump read package.version Cargo.toml
svbump read version deno.json

Write Version

Modify the version in a file:

svbump write <LEVEL> <SELECTOR> <FILE>

Level options:

  • major - Bump major version (1.0.0 -> 2.0.0)
  • minor - Bump minor version (1.0.0 -> 1.1.0)
  • patch - Bump patch version (1.0.0 -> 1.0.1)
  • X.Y.Z - Set specific version (must be higher than current)

Examples:

# Bump patch version
svbump write patch version package.json

# Bump minor version in nested field
svbump write minor package.version Cargo.toml

# Set specific version
svbump write 2.5.0 version package.json

# Copy version from one file to another
svbump write "$(svbump read version deno.json)" package.version dist-workspace.toml

Preview Version

Preview what a bump would do without modifying the file:

svbump preview <LEVEL> <SELECTOR> <FILE>

Example:

svbump preview minor version package.json
# Outputs: 1.1.0 (without modifying the file)

Selector Syntax

Use dot notation to access nested fields:

  • version - Top-level version field
  • package.version - Nested under [package] table in TOML
  • dependencies.foo.version - Deeply nested field

Common Workflows

Release workflow with changelog

# Set version from changelog's latest release
svbump write "$(changelog version latest)" version deno.json

# Sync version to other config files
svbump write "$(svbump read version deno.json)" package.version dist-workspace.toml

Force file type

Use -t or --type to override file type detection:

svbump read version config -t json
svbump write patch version config --type toml
