semantic-version

Lightweight and configurable semantic-version generator without runtime dependencies (generate version & changelog from git history)

Features

• Configurable to match many different versioning strategies (alpha-beta-game, maven-like, ...)
• Single binary without dependencies (does not need Maven, Gradle, NPM etc.)

Usage

Usage: semantic-version [args] <command>

Args:
  -build int
         (default -1)
  -config string
         (default "./semanticversion.yaml")
  -debug
    
  -git-branch string
    
  -v    Print the version info and exit

Commands:
  generate-config  Generate config file 'semanticversion.yaml'
  get-version      Get the new release version
  get-changelog    Get a changelog with all changes since the last release

Setup

Download the binary and you are ready to go

Generate config

You can customize the versioning rules by creating the config file semanticrelease.yaml in your work directory:

> semantic-release generate-config

Git commit format

Version increment	Prefix	Example
Major	break:	break: Changed API model to v2
Minor	feat:	feat: Added new delete() function
Patch	fix:	fix: Fixed add() function

Multiple changes can be commited in the same commit message, separated by ;, e.g.:

break: Changed API model to v2; feat: Added new delete() function;
