## What it is
A small Python command-line tool that bumps software version strings across source files with a single command, optionally creating commits and tags in Git or Mercurial. It is highly configurable via a config file and works with any text files regardless of programming language.

## Use cases
- bump semantic version numbers across multiple files in one command
- automate release commits and git tags when incrementing a version
- update version strings in setup.py, VERSION files, and source code
- manage major/minor/patch version increments from the CLI
- standardize version bumping via a .bumpversion.cfg config file

## When to choose
- you need a simple, proven version-bump tool for a legacy Python 2 or 3 project
- you want VCS-agnostic version bumping that also integrates with Git or Mercurial
- your project already has a .bumpversion.cfg and you don't want to migrate

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the README explicitly says it is no longer maintained and recommends bump-my-version
- you need bug fixes, new features, or active community support
- you need modern features like TOML/pyproject.toml configuration or better CLI ergonomics
