Bump Version

Workflow

  1. Read current version from package.json
  2. Determine bump type — ask the user if not specified:
    • patch (1.0.5 → 1.0.6)
    • minor (1.0.5 → 1.1.0)
    • major (1.0.5 → 2.0.0)
  3. Update both files with the new version:
    • package.json"version": "X.Y.Z"
    • manifest.json"version": "X.Y.Z"
  4. Commit the version change:
    git add package.json manifest.json
    git commit -m "bump version to X.Y.Z"
    
  5. Tag the commit:
    git tag vX.Y.Z
    
  6. Report the new version and remind the user to git push --tags when ready.

Rules

  • Always keep package.json and manifest.json versions in sync.
  • Use the v prefix for git tags (e.g. v1.1.0).
  • Do not push automatically — let the user decide when to push.
