ebump 0.2.1

Easy version bumping

ebump

Easy version bumping CLI tool for python projects.

Key features

• Simple and intuitive CLI for version bumping.
• Automatic detection of version field in pyproject.toml.
• Pattern-based configuration that allows to change version in multiple files at once.

[!NOTE] This is an opinionated tool, it assumes a specific versioning scheme: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[-TAG[NUMBER]], e.g., 1.2.3, 1.2.3-beta0, 1.2.3-alpha5, 1.2.3-rc2. Supported tags are alpha, beta, dev, rc (release candidate), and final. The final tag is implicit when no tag is present.

Quick showcase

> ebump             # 1.0.0                         Shows current version (same as `uv version --short`)
> ebump patch       # 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1                Bump patch
> ebump minor       # 1.0.1 -> 1.1.0                Bump minor
> ebump major       # 1.5.4 -> 2.0.0                Bump major
> ebump minor beta  # 1.0.0 -> 1.1.0-beta0          Bump minor and add beta tag
> ebump tag         # 1.0.0-beta0 -> 1.0.0-beta1    Bump current tag number
> ebump alpha       # 1.0.0-alpha4 -> 1.0.0-alpha5  Bump tag number if already at tag
> ebump beta        # 1.0.0-alpha5 -> 1.0.0-beta0   Bump to tag if not already at that tag
> ebump tag beta    # 1.0.0-alpha5 -> 1.0.0-beta0   Same as 'ebump beta'
> ebump tag beta    # 1.0.0-beta0 -> 1.0.0-beta1    Same as 'ebump beta'
> ebump final       # 1.0.0-rc2 -> 1.0.0            Bump to final
> ebump final       # 1.0.0 -> 1.0.0                If already at final do nothing (ensures final release)

Setting specific versions

> ebump --set 1.2.3         # 1.0.0 -> 1.2.3        Set specific version
> ebump --set 1.2.3 --force # 5.0.0 -> 1.2.3        Force set specific version (even if it's a downgrade). Use with caution!

Bad examples:

> ebump minor alpha beta    # Error: You can only specify one part to bump and/or one tag
> ebump patch minor         # Error: You can only specify one part to bump
> ebump alpha beta          # Error: You can only specify one tag to bump

# If current version has no tag
> ebump tag                 # Error: No tag found to bump

Any combination that violates the bumping rules will throw an error. E.g., trying to bump alpha while being at beta.

You can also use the --dry-run to see what the new version would be without actually changing it:

> ebump minor --dry-run  # 1.0.0 -> 1.1.0 (no change to version)

Configuration

If you only maintain a simple project with the version only in pyproject.toml, you can use ebump without any configuration. It will automatically detect the version field and update it accordingly.

However, heavily inspired by bumpver, ebump supports pattern-based configuration via pyproject.toml under the [tool.ebump.patterns] section. This allows you to specify different versioning files and patterns for different parts of your project.

[tool.ebump.patterns]
"path/to/__init__.py" = ['^__version__ = "{version}"$']

Installation / Usage

You can use ebump directly via uvx (recommended):

uvx ebump [PARAMS ...]

Or install it via pip:

pip install ebump

Why ebump?

Design differences with bumpver CLI:

• Bumping final tag doesn't throw errors if the version is already final.

  Useful for CI/CD pipelines where you want to ensure the version is final without worrying about its current state.

• Bumping one of the main version parts (patch, minor, major) automatically resets any pre-release tag to final unless you explicitly specify a new tag in the same command.

  If you bump the minor version from 1.0.0-beta2, it will become 1.1.0 instead of 1.1.0-beta0. You can still set a pre-release tag in the same command (e.g., ebump minor beta to get 1.1.0-beta0).

• Simplified CLI with fewer options, focusing on the most common use cases.

• Can be executed in any directory of the project, root is automatically detected.

What ebump is NOT

• It is not a replacement for bumpver library. You can still use bumpver library directly for more complex use cases if necessary.
• It does not aim to cover all use cases. It focuses on simplicity and ease of use.
