How to use it

  1. Paste commit subjects, one per line, for example from git log --format=%s.
  2. Enter the current version. Tick the 0.x option if your project is below 1.0.
  3. Read the bump, the next version and the changelog. Fix commits marked invalid so tooling can read them.

Frequently asked questions

How does a commit map to a semver bump?

A breaking change (a ! after the type or a BREAKING CHANGE footer) bumps major, feat bumps minor, and fix or perf bumps patch. Other types do not release by themselves.

What does a valid commit look like?

type(scope)!: description, where scope and ! are optional, such as feat(api): add pagination or fix!: change the default timeout.

How does semver work below 1.0?

Anything can change before 1.0. Many tools shift one level down: breaking changes bump minor and features bump patch. Tick the option to match.

Which tools automate this?

semantic-release, release-please and commitlint all read Conventional Commits. This helper shows what they would do without installing anything.
