Git Solutions


Solution 1 - Git

It means to increment the version number to a new, unique value.

Solution 2 - Git

from: A successful Git branching model:

> $ git checkout -b release-1.2 develop > Switched to a new branch "release-1.2" > $ ./bump-version.sh 1.2 > Files modified successfully, version bumped to 1.2. > $ git commit -a -m "Bumped version number to 1.2" > [release-1.2 74d9424] Bumped version number to 1.2 > 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) > > After creating a new branch and switching to it, we bump the version > number. Here, bump-version.sh is a fictional shell script that changes > some files in the working copy to reflect the new version. (This can > of course be a manual change—the point being that some files change.) > Then, the bumped version number is committed.

Solution 3 - Git

Boost, pump up, bring up, ⸻the version.


The etymology for you.

> https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/bump > > Likely emerging in the mid to late 1990s with the rise of online message boards, bump is popularly said to be a backronym for the phrase “bring up my post.” The term, however, may have also simply originated as an extension of the word bump (i.e., give something a bump, or boost.).

Solution 4 - Git

It means incrementing the current version number by 1.
