`bump`

This section contains the bump version related configuration options.

toml

[bump]
features_always_bump_minor = true
breaking_always_bump_major = true
initial_tag = "0.1.0"

features_always_bump_minor

Configures automatic minor version increments for feature changes. When true, a feature will always trigger a minor version update. When false, a feature will trigger:

A patch version update if the major version is 0.
A minor version update otherwise.

breaking_always_bump_major

Configures 0 -> 1 major version increments for breaking changes. When true, a breaking change commit will always trigger a major version update (including the transition from version 0 to 1) When false, a breaking change commit will trigger:

A minor version update if the major version is 0.
A major version update otherwise.

initial_tag

Configures the initial version of the project.

When set, the version will be set to this value if no tags are found.

custom_major_increment_regex & custom_minor_increment_regex

Configures additional commit types that should increment the major or minor accordingly.

They should be used rarely, only in the case you have a special case for incrementing versions.

Expects a valid regex pattern.

For example:

toml

[bump]
features_always_bump_minor = true
breaking_always_bump_major = true
custom_major_increment_regex = "major"
custom_minor_increment_regex = "minor|more"

with this history:

5189568 (HEAD -> main) major: 1
0b17b48 (tag: 0.1.0) initial commit

will result in:

bash

git-cliff --bumped-version

1.0.0

or, with history:

47206d0 (HEAD -> main) more: 1
0b17b48 (tag: 0.1.0) initial commit

will result in:

bash

git-cliff --bumped-version

0.2.0

bump_type

When set, it forces to always bump in major, minor or patch.

e.g.

toml

[bump]
bump_type = "minor"
