Workflows
Tag in place, cut a release branch, or open a GitHub PR.
VerBump supports three release workflows. Pick one per-run with a flag, or set
a default in .verbumprc:
| Workflow | Command | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Tag-in-place (default) | verbump | Bumps files, writes CHANGELOG, commits, and tags the current branch. No branch is created. |
| Release branch | verbump --branch | Cuts a release-<version> branch (the Git branch-based workflow), commits and tags there, and leaves the merge back to you. |
| Release PR | verbump --pr | Like --branch, then pushes and opens a pull request via the gh CLI. Implies a push to origin (override with -p <remote>). |
The --pr base branch resolves in this order: --base <branch>, then
PR_BASE from .verbumprc, then the branch you ran VerBump from, then the
remote's default branch.
