Could we extract the bump function? about changelogen HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi dear @Barbapapazes. Happy you find it useful. Also it is a nice idea to only extract bump functionality.

I myself use it for nitro-automated edge releases for example. Changelogen already exposes utilities you can import them programmatically from the package. Would that be useful to make it simpler bumpVersion utility exposed?

Okk, I didn't know that changelogen expose this utility. I will try it.

But it could be useful to add documentation about these functions that are exposed.

And I'm thinking about building a GitHub action for it.

To explain more, I'm working on project where there is not necessary a package.json or a CHANGELOG but where we need to easily get a new semver version using commits from the lastest tag. And I think that this package have all I want to do but automatic bump of changelog generation is not something I need.

Hello @pi0,

After deep diving in the code, I understand that the function bumpVersion update the package json file. So that not exactly what I needed. But anyway, I succeeded to write my script to generate a new version and the main function is determineSemverChange. I'm not sure what can be done but it seems that this package has much more power than juste update a changelog.md or a package.json file. Maybe more docs could show that (with a section about programmatic usage?).

My script: https://github.com/aneoconsulting/ArmoniK.Api/pull/185/files#diff-6e31c0ba82d99f48d77e556e24cbf18d8b2ed1757a2eef7b61085368019f689d

Done, will close this issue but I'm convinced that a docs could help!
