version-stamper 1.0.3

Manage/sync version numbers across all files that contain it, including git tags.

version-stamper

Manage/sync version numbers across all files that contain it, including git tags - from a single source of truth.

Some projects have version numbers in multiple files, e.g. package.json or setup.py, on a documentation page, etc.

With version stamper, you set the version number in one place (version_stamp.json), configure which files need the version number.

Example

For example, our halchemy library contains packages for Python, Node, and Ruby (more coming in the roadmap!). To keep all of these packages in sync, halchemy's version_stamp.json looks like this:

{
    "version": "1.0.3",
    "files": [
        {
            "path": "./node/halchemy/package.json",
            "pattern": "^  \"version\": \"{version}\","
        },
        {
            "path": "./node/halchemy/package-lock.json",
            "pattern": "^  \"version\": \"{version}\","
        },
        {
            "path": "./python/version.py",
            "pattern": "VERSION = '{version}'"
        },
        {
            "path": "./ruby/halchemy/lib/halchemy/version.rb",
            "pattern": "VERSION = \"{version}\""
        }
    ]
}

Then when you change the version number all you do is:

stamp --set 1.0.4

This updates version_stamp.json (the single source of truth for the version) then applies the version number to all files configured.

Stamp by itself with display the current version
