Simple version bump without touching vcs and files and simple CLI

[eirnym]

This is a nice command line tool, but it's not quite suitable for CI as it has too many dependencies by default and to too many things.

I'd like to calculate new version and run gh release (or similar) to make the rest. For this function I don't need very good cli and configuration file support. This also will automatically support any other SCM.

Changing files is also done on release CI and/or tooling to build app, so I don't need this either.

Is there's any option to have such minimal CLI for CI?

PS: If anybody knows alternatives, I considering them as well.

If you are concerned about dependencies, there is a GitHub Action you can use.

GitHub actions are too heavy for the task and tend to do too many things at once. I need just bump a version from what I've provided. Input is a string and output is a string, no other actions, no fancy terminal, no git access etc.

Why no git access? because github already supplies all the required data, or data is easily obtainable.
Why no additional actions? I want to give the least amount of permissions to third-party tools.

The possible answer would be "write it yourself", but it's the least desirable solution. I prefer to use an application with well-established feature-set with good amount of tests, which I can improve in the future.

Would it be reasonable to have some option, say --print-only on bump-my-version show-bump so that we can say

$ bump-my-version show-bump
0.7 ── bump ─┬─ major ─ 1.0
             ╰─ minor ─ 0.8
$ bump-my-version show-bump --print-only minor
0.8

?

My use case is simpler than the OP: I simply like to get the next version and show a preview of the changelog that would be generated by something like towncrier build --draft --version 0.8 .

You can get that with this command:

$ bump-my-version show --increment minor new_version
0.8

Thank you: I totally missed that, probably because the synopsis of show is Show current configuration information, so I payed less attention there.

Still rich and other dependencies are useless in this case.
