A small Python command-line tool that increments version strings across source files in a single command, optionally creating commits and tags in Git or Mercurial. It is configurable via a .bumpversion.cfg file and works with any text files regardless of programming language.

Use cases

• bump the version number across all files in my repo with one command
• automatically create a git commit and tag when releasing a new version
• update version strings in multiple files from a config file
• increment semver major/minor/patch parts before a release
• manage version numbers without a VCS

When to choose

• you need a simple, language-agnostic version bump tool for text files
• you want automatic commits and tags as part of your release flow
• you prefer declarative configuration in .bumpversion.cfg

When to avoid

• you want an actively maintained tool - use the maintained fork bump2version (c4urself) or its successor instead
• you need binary file or non-text version handling
• you need deep integration with modern CI/CD release tooling
