Calculate new versions, generate changelogs, update version files, create git commits and tags
Automates semantic versioning workflows: calculates versions, generates changelogs from commits, updates version files, creates git commits and tags. Use for release management, pre-release versions (alpha/beta/RC), breaking change detection, and multi-stakeholder approval workflows.

If dry_run is false, update all version references:
Update VERSION file:
{
"version": "<new_version>",
"commit": "<current_git_sha>",
"build_date": "<current_iso_timestamp>",
"build_type": "release"
}
Check for pyproject.toml:
version = "<new_version>"Check for package.json:
"version": "<new_version>"Verify all files updated successfully
If dry_run is false:
Stage version files:
git add VERSION pyproject.toml package.json CHANGELOG.md
Create commit:
git commit -m "chore(release): bump version to <new_version>"
Get commit hash for reference
Create annotated tag with full changelog:
git tag -a v<new_version> -m "<changelog_content>"
Verify tag created: git tag -l v<new_version>
Display tag details: git show v<new_version> --no-patch
If dry_run is true:
If force_push is true:
git push && git push --tagsOtherwise:
Return a JSON object:
{
"status": "success|error|dry_run_complete|ready_to_push|pushed",
"old_version": "1.4.2",
"new_version": "1.5.0",
"commit_hash": "abc123",
"tag_name": "v1.5.0",
"changelog": "formatted changelog text",
"files_updated": ["VERSION", "package.json"],
"error": "error message if status is error"
}
Handle failures gracefully:
Return error status with clear message for each error type.
