README

A Composer plugin that allows you to manage versioning similar to npm version. It supports patch, minor, major, prepatch, preminor, premajor, and prerelease versioning while integrating with Git for tagging and commits.

🚀 Features

• Easily update version numbers in composer.json
• Automatically commit and tag new versions in Git
• Supports pre-release versions (beta)
• Compatible with semantic versioning (SemVer)

📥 Installation

Install the plugin globally or in a specific project:

composer require elkadrey/version-bump --dev

If using locally, require it as a path repository:

composer config repositories.version-bump '{"type": "path", "url": "../path-to-plugin"}'
composer require elkadrey/version-bump:dev-main

🔧 Usage

Run the following command to manage versioning:

composer version <command>

Set a specific version manually:

composer version <version>

This will set the version in composer.json to exactly what <version> is.

🎯 Available Commands

📌 Examples

🔹 Standard Version Bumps

composer version patch      # 1.0.0 → 1.0.1
composer version minor      # 1.0.1 → 1.1.0
