Version

go-semantic-release has two modes for calcualting the version: automatic or manual.

Automatic

Version will be calculated on the next or release command

Manual

If you don't want that go-semantic-release is calculating the version from the commits, you can set the version by hand with following command:

./go-semantic-release set 1.1.1

Print version

Print the next version, can be used to add version to your program

./go-semantic-release next // show next version (calculated by new commits since last version)
./go-semantic-release last // show last released version 

Example with go-lang

go build -ldflags "--X main.version=`./go-semantic-release next`"

Create release

./go-semantic-release release 

Build from source

go build ./cmd/go-semantic-release/
