Download the PHP package rhapsodic/pbump without Composer

pbump

pbump is a CLI tool for semver releases in PHP projects with automatic release commit creation and git tagging.

Features

• bump the version manually (patch, minor, major, as-is) or by conventional commits (next);
• read the current version from composer.json or the latest git tag;
• update composer.json when the version source is set to composer;
• run in dry-run mode without making changes;
• optionally release with unrelated uncommitted files while committing only composer.json;
• work interactively through a menu or non-interactively in CI.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.2
• Git

Installation

After installation, the binary will be available as vendor/bin/pbump.

How a Release Works

During a normal pbump run:

1. it determines the current version;
2. it calculates the target version;
3. it updates composer.json when needed;
4. it creates a chore: release vX.Y.Z commit;
5. it creates a git tag;
6. it pushes the current branch and tag.

By default, the tag is named vX.Y.Z, but you can disable tagging or provide a custom tag name.

By default, pbump requires a clean working tree. If you need to release while unrelated files are modified, use --allow-dirty or set "allowDirty": true; in that mode pbump updates composer.json, commits only composer.json, and leaves the other files untouched.

Release Types

• patch - X.Y.Z -> X.Y.(Z+1)
• minor - X.Y.Z -> X.(Y+1).0
• major - X.Y.Z -> (X+1).0.0
• as-is - keep the current version
• next - calculate the bump from conventional commits
• conventional - alias for next

Version Source

The --version-source flag supports three modes:

• auto - use composer.json.version first, and fall back to the latest git tag if it is missing;
• composer - always read the version from composer.json.version and update it during release;
• tag - always read the version from the latest git tag; composer.json is not modified.

If there are no tags yet and the source is tag, the current version is treated as 0.0.0.

The latest tag must contain a semver version at the end of the name, for example v1.2.3 or release-1.2.3.

Configuration via .pbump.config.json

You can create a .pbump.config.json file in the project root with default values:

Supported keys:

• type
• dryRun
• tag
• push
• yes
• quiet
• versionSource
• allowDirty

CLI arguments take precedence over .pbump.config.json.

tag can be:

• true - create the standard vX.Y.Z tag;
• false - do not create a tag;
• a string - create a tag with the provided name.

Main Options

• -h, --help - show help
• -v, --version - print the current version
• --dry-run - show the plan without making changes
• --type=<type> - explicitly set the release type
• --version-source=<source> - choose the version source: auto, composer, tag
• -t, --tag[=<name>] - create a tag, optionally with a custom name
• --no-tag - do not create a tag
• -p, --push - push using the current git upstream
• --no-push - do not push
• -y, --yes - skip confirmation
• -q, --quiet - hide the summary
• --allow-dirty - allow unrelated uncommitted files and commit only composer.json

Interactive and CI Behavior

If --type is not provided and input is interactive, pbump will show a release type selection menu.

For non-interactive runs, it is best to always pass:

Otherwise, the tool will not be able to ask for confirmation before creating a release.
