Updaters

Updaters change the version in your project files in the release commit.

Type	What it changes
package-json	the top-level "version"
pom-xml	the project's own <version> (not the parent's or any dependency's)
gradle	a top-level version = '…' / version "…" (Groovy/Kotlin DSL) or version=… in .properties
generic	the first version on every line containing a marker (see below)

Each updater takes an optional path, relative to the package. Defaults: package.json, pom.xml, build.gradle.

Generic updater

  tag: 1.2.3 # x-relwolf-version

The marker has to be the last thing on the line (usually in a comment, optionally before a closing --> or */). Its name selects the granularity of the first matching version on that line. A leading v is kept.

Partial markers

Marker	Replaces	Example
x-relwolf-version	the full version	1.2.3 → 2.0.0
x-relwolf-minor	MAJOR.MINOR, not for pre-releases	1.2 → 2.0
x-relwolf-major	MAJOR, not for pre-releases	v1 → v2

Use the partial markers for references to floating tags:

GitHub Action

- uses: org/repo@v1 # x-relwolf-major

Docker image

image: org/repo:1.2 # x-relwolf-minor

Markdown

Download version 1.2.3 <!-- x-relwolf-version -->

Pre-releases leave partial markers unchanged, because no floating tag exists for them.
