Bump My Version

NOTE

This is a maintained refactor of the bump2version fork of the excellent bumpversion project. The main goals of this refactor were:

• Add support for pyproject.toml configuration files.
• Convert to click for and rich for the CLI interface
• Add better configuration validation using Pydantic
• Make the code and tests easier to read and maintain

Overview

Bump My Version's purpose is to:

• Work as a part of an automated build system
• Manage project versioning through the project's development life cycle
  • Incrementing version numbers
  • serializing version numbers
  • parsing version numbers
  • supporting SemVer, CalVer, and other versioning schemes
• Modify project files as part of the project's development life cycle
• Work with the project's source control system
  • Committing changes
  • Tagging releases
  • Reading version numbers from tags

Installation

You can download and install the latest version of this software from the Python package index (PyPI) as follows:

pip install --upgrade bump-my-version

Semantic versioning example

Create a default configuration

The default configuration uses a simplified version of semantic versioning.

$ bump-my-version sample-config --no-prompt --destination .bumpversion.toml
$ cat .bumpversion.toml
[tool.bumpversion]
current_version = "0.1.0"
parse = "(?P<major>\\d+)\\.(?P<minor>\\d+)\\.(?P<patch>\\d+)"
serialize = ["{major}.{minor}.{patch}"]
search = "{current_version}"
replace = "{new_version}"
regex = false
ignore_missing_version = false
tag = false
sign_tags = false
tag_name = "v{new_version}"
tag_message = "Bump version: {current_version} → {new_version}"
allow_dirty = false
commit = false
message = "Bump version: {current_version} → {new_version}"
commit_args = ""

Visualize the versioning path

You can see the potential versioning paths with the show-bump subcommand.

$ bump-my-version show-bump
0.1.0 ── bump ─┬─ major ─ 1.0.0
               ├─ minor ─ 0.2.0
               ╰─ patch ─ 0.1.1
$ bump-my-version show-bump 1.2.3
1.2.3 ── bump ─┬─ major ─ 2.0.0
               ├─ minor ─ 1.3.0
               ╰─ patch ─ 1.2.4

The default configuration only allows bumping the major, minor, or patch version. What if you wanted to support pre-release versions?

Add support for pre-release versions

Alter the parse configuration to support pre-release versions. This parse option uses an extended (or verbose) regular expression to extract the version components from the current version.

parse = """(?x)
    (?P<major>0|[1-9]\\d*)\\.
    (?P<minor>0|[1-9]\\d*)\\.
    (?P<patch>0|[1-9]\\d*)
    (?:
        -                             # dash separator for pre-release section
        (?P<pre_l>[a-zA-Z-]+)         # pre-release label
        (?P<pre_n>0|[1-9]\\d*)        # pre-release version number
    )?                                # pre-release section is optional
"""

Alter the serialize configuration to support pre-release versions.

serialize = [
    "{major}.{minor}.{patch}-{pre_l}{pre_n}",
    "{major}.{minor}.{patch}",
]

Add a new configuration section for the pre_l part.

[tool.bumpversion.parts.pre_l]
values = ["dev", "rc", "final"]
optional_value = "final"

Visualize the new versioning path

Now when you run bump-my-version show-bump, you can see the new pre-release versioning path.

$ bump-my-version show-bump
0.1.0 ── bump ─┬─ major ─ 1.0.0-dev0
               ├─ minor ─ 0.2.0-dev0
               ├─ patch ─ 0.1.1-dev0
               ├─ pre_l ─ invalid: The part has already the maximum value among ['dev', 'rc', 'final'] and cannot be bumped.
               ╰─ pre_n ─ 0.1.0-final1

The pre_l is not bump-able because it is already at the maximum value. The pre_n is bump-able because it is not at the maximum value.

If we run bump-my-version show-bump 1.0.0-dev0, we can see the new versioning path for a dev starting version.

$ bump-my-version show-bump 1.0.0-dev0
1.0.0-dev0 ── bump ─┬─ major ─ 2.0.0-dev0
                    ├─ minor ─ 1.1.0-dev0
                    ├─ patch ─ 1.0.1-dev0
                    ├─ pre_l ─ 1.0.0-rc0
                    ╰─ pre_n ─ 1.0.0-dev1

Finally, we can see the new versioning path for a rc starting version.

$ bump-my-version show-bump 1.0.0-rc0 
1.0.0-rc0 ── bump ─┬─ major ─ 2.0.0-dev0
                   ├─ minor ─ 1.1.0-dev0
                   ├─ patch ─ 1.0.1-dev0
                   ├─ pre_l ─ 1.0.0
                   ╰─ pre_n ─ 1.0.0-rc1

The full development and release path is:

• 1.0.0
• bump patch → 1.0.1-dev0
• bump pre_n → 1.0.1-dev1
• bump pre_l → 1.0.1-rc0
• bump pre_n → 1.0.1-rc1
• bump pre_l → 1.0.1

1. You must decide on the next version before you start developing.
2. Development versions increase using bump-my-version bump pre_n.
3. Switch from development to release candidate using bump-my-version bump pre_l.
4. Release candidates increase using bump-my-version bump pre_n.
5. Switch from the release candidate to the final release using bump-my-version bump pre_l.

Automate the pre-release numbering

The pre_n or pre-release number is a number that increases with each pre-release. You can automate this by changing the serialization configuration.

serialize = [
    "{major}.{minor}.{patch}-{pre_l}{distance_to_latest_tag}",
    "{major}.{minor}.{patch}",
]

The distance_to_latest_tag is a special value that is replaced with the number of commits since the last tag. This is a good value to use for the pre_n because it will always increase with each commit.

Visualize the pre_n versioning path

Now when you run bump-my-version show-bump, you can see the new pre-release versioning path.

$ bump-my-version show-bump
0.1.0 ── bump ─┬─ major ─ 1.0.0-dev0
               ├─ minor ─ 0.2.0-dev0
               ├─ patch ─ 0.1.1-dev0
               ╰─ pre_l ─ invalid: The part has already the maximum value among ['dev', 'rc', 'final'] and cannot be bumped.
$ bump-my-version show-bump 1.0.0-dev0
1.0.0-dev0 ── bump ─┬─ major ─ 2.0.0-dev0
                    ├─ minor ─ 1.1.0-dev0
                    ├─ patch ─ 1.0.1-dev0
                    ╰─ pre_l ─ 1.0.0-rc0
$ bump-my-version show-bump 1.0.0-rc0 
1.0.0-rc0 ── bump ─┬─ major ─ 2.0.0-dev0
                   ├─ minor ─ 1.1.0-dev0
                   ├─ patch ─ 1.0.1-dev0
                   ╰─ pre_l ─ 1.0.0

The pre_n path is now missing because it is automated.

The full development and release path now is:

• 1.0.0
• bump patch → 1.0.1-dev0
  • each commit will increase → 1.0.1-dev1
• bump pre_l → 1.0.1-rc0
  • each commit will increase → 1.0.1-rc1
• bump pre_l → 1.0.1

1. You must decide on the next version before you start developing.
2. Development versions increase automatically with each commit.
3. Switch from development to release candidate using bump-my-version bump pre_l.
4. Release candidate versions increase automatically with each commit.
5. Switch from the release candidate to the final release using bump-my-version bump pre_l.

GitHub Actions

You can use bump-my-version as part of a GHA workflow. Here is an example of a workflow that bumps the version, commits the change, and tags the commit.

name: Bump version

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      bump-type:
        description: 'Bump type'
        required: true
        default: 'patch'
        type: choice
        options:
        - major
        - minor
        - patch

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout the code
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Bump version
        id: bump
        uses: callowayproject/bump-my-version@master
        env:
          BUMPVERSION_TAG: "true"
        with:
          args: ${{ inputs.bump-type }}
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GH_TOKEN }}

      - name: Check
        if: steps.bump.outputs.bumped == 'true'
        run: |
          echo "Version was bumped from ${{ steps.bump.outputs.previous-version }} to ${{ steps.bump.outputs.current-version }}!"

Inputs for the bump-my-version action are:

1. args - The arguments to pass to the bump-my-version bump [args] command. See the CLI documentation for more information.
2. github-token - The GitHub token to use for committing and tagging. This is optional.

Output:

1. bumped - Boolean flag for whether the version was bumped.
2. previous-version - Version before bump was performed.
3. current-version - Version after performing bump.

If you want to ensure that workflows set up with on-push trigger will also start based on those newly pushed commits or tags, you need to provide a custom PAT (github-token). See here.
