SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of updating the version and timestamp in the ofuda/VERSION file, simplifying version control management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version Bumping: Increase the version number based on the specified level (major, minor, or patch).
  • Timestamp Updating: Automatically update the timestamp with the current UTC time.
  • Change Log Generation: Adds a new section to the CHANGELOG.md file with the new version information and recent changes.

Quick Start

Run the command /bump-version <level> to update the version. Replace <level> with 'major', 'minor', or 'patch' to specify the type of update you want.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically update the version and timestamp in my VERSION file?

To update the version and timestamp in your VERSION file, you can run the version bumping command with the desired increment level. This automatically applies the new version number and current UTC timestamp to the file.

What is the best way to increment a software version number for major, minor, or patch releases?

Incrementing a software version number requires specifying the release type as major, minor, or patch. The automation tool reads the current version identifier, applies the specified increment, and writes the updated string back to the VERSION file.

How does version bumping generate a change log for recent software updates?

Version bumping generates a change log by adding a new section to the CHANGELOG.md file. This section automatically records the newly incremented version information alongside the recent software development changes.

Can I use this version increment tool to apply UTC timestamps for CI/CD tracking?

Yes, you can use this version increment tool for CI/CD tracking. It automatically updates the timestamp with the current UTC time every time it bumps the version, ensuring accurate tracking of software changes.

Does the version bumping process require any specific dependencies or environment setup?

No specific dependencies or environment setup are required for the version bumping process. It operates independently using string manipulation techniques to alter version identifiers within your existing software development environment.

Why is my version control not capturing the correct timestamp during a release?

If your version control is not capturing the correct timestamp, ensure your release process includes an automated update step. This tool enforces timestamp updating by injecting the precise current UTC time directly into the VERSION file.
