FAQPage Schema

How do I determine the next semantic version from git commit history?▼

Semantic versioning calculates version bumps as MAJOR, MINOR, or PATCH. It uses Conventional Commits to analyze git history, identifying feat, fix, or BREAKING CHANGE to recommend the next release number.

What's the best way to automate release management and versioning?▼

Automating release management involves calculating the next software version number following Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 rules based on commit history, simplifying the preparation of release tags.

How does conventional commits analysis recommend a PATCH or MINOR version bump?▼

Conventional commits analysis scans git commit messages for specific keywords. A feat triggers a MINOR bump, while a fix triggers a PATCH bump, ensuring the semantic version reflects the changes.

Can I identify pre-release and build metadata when calculating the next version?▼

Yes, you can identify pre-release and build metadata during version calculation. The process supports these identifiers to provide a clear recommendation for release preparation.

Does this semantic versioning approach work without external dependencies?▼

Yes, this semantic versioning approach works without external dependencies. It directly analyzes commit history using Conventional Commits to recommend the next version number.
