Bump

Every time you open a pull request, you will determine if the changes it contains warrant a new version release. You do this by adding one or more bump files to the PR. You can generate these by running bumper bump and they will be stored in .bumper/bump-*.md files by default. Here’s what a bump file looks like:

.bumper/bump-gentle-camels-cross-lazily.md
---
dashboard: minor
---


Added a settings page where users can update their profile information.

This file represents the following:

  • The change being made represents a “minor” version bump.
  • It affects the dashboard release group.
  • It has a description that will be added to the changelog when committed.

Over time, when you merge a PR or commit to the main branch, a bunch of these will accumulate. Nothing is released yet though. You’ll need to run bumper commit to process these bumps and kick off a release process.
