153<h3 id="configuration">Configuration</h3>
154<h4 id="allow-same-version"><code>allow-same-version</code></h4>
155<ul>
156<li>Default: false</li>
157<li>Type: Boolean</li>
158</ul>
159<p>Prevents throwing an error when <code>npm version</code> is used to set the new version
160to the same value as the current version.</p>
161<h4 id="commit-hooks"><code>commit-hooks</code></h4>
162<ul>
163<li>Default: true</li>
164<li>Type: Boolean</li>
165</ul>
166<p>Run git commit hooks when using the <code>npm version</code> command.</p>
167<h4 id="git-tag-version"><code>git-tag-version</code></h4>
168<ul>
169<li>Default: true</li>
170<li>Type: Boolean</li>
171</ul>
172<p>Tag the commit when using the <code>npm version</code> command. Setting this to false
173results in no commit being made at all.</p>
174<h4 id="json"><code>json</code></h4>
175<ul>
176<li>Default: false</li>
177<li>Type: Boolean</li>
178</ul>
179<p>Whether or not to output JSON data, rather than the normal output.</p>
180<ul>
181<li>In <code>npm pkg set</code> it enables parsing set values with JSON.parse() before
182saving them to your <code>package.json</code>.</li>
183</ul>
184<p>Not supported by all npm commands.</p>
185<h4 id="preid"><code>preid</code></h4>
186<ul>
187<li>Default: ""</li>
188<li>Type: String</li>
189</ul>
190<p>The "prerelease identifier" to use as a prefix for the "prerelease" part of
191a semver. Like the <code>rc</code> in <code>1.2.0-rc.8</code>.</p>
192<h4 id="sign-git-tag"><code>sign-git-tag</code></h4>
193<ul>
194<li>Default: false</li>
195<li>Type: Boolean</li>
196</ul>
197<p>If set to true, then the <code>npm version</code> command will tag the version using
198<code>-s</code> to add a signature.</p>
199<p>Note that git requires you to have set up GPG keys in your git configs for
200this to work properly.</p>
201<h4 id="workspace"><code>workspace</code></h4>
202<ul>
203<li>Default:</li>
204<li>Type: String (can be set multiple times)</li>
205</ul>
206<p>Enable running a command in the context of the configured workspaces of the
207current project while filtering by running only the workspaces defined by
208this configuration option.</p>
209<p>Valid values for the <code>workspace</code> config are either:</p>
210<ul>
211<li>Workspace names</li>
212<li>Path to a workspace directory</li>
213<li>Path to a parent workspace directory (will result in selecting all
214workspaces within that folder)</li>
215</ul>
216<p>When set for the <code>npm init</code> command, this may be set to the folder of a
217workspace which does not yet exist, to create the folder and set it up as a
218brand new workspace within the project.</p>
219<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
220<h4 id="workspaces"><code>workspaces</code></h4>
221<ul>
222<li>Default: null</li>
223<li>Type: null or Boolean</li>
224</ul>
225<p>Set to true to run the command in the context of <strong>all</strong> configured
226workspaces.</p>
227<p>Explicitly setting this to false will cause commands like <code>install</code> to
228ignore workspaces altogether. When not set explicitly:</p>
229<ul>
230<li>Commands that operate on the <code>node_modules</code> tree (install, update, etc.)
231will link workspaces into the <code>node_modules</code> folder. - Commands that do
232other things (test, exec, publish, etc.) will operate on the root project,
233<em>unless</em> one or more workspaces are specified in the <code>workspace</code> config.</li>
234</ul>
235<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
236<h4 id="workspaces-update"><code>workspaces-update</code></h4>
237<ul>
238<li>Default: true</li>
239<li>Type: Boolean</li>
240</ul>
241<p>If set to true, the npm cli will run an update after operations that may
242possibly change the workspaces installed to the <code>node_modules</code> folder.</p>
243<h4 id="include-workspace-root"><code>include-workspace-root</code></h4>
244<ul>
245<li>Default: false</li>
246<li>Type: Boolean</li>
247</ul>
248<p>Include the workspace root when workspaces are enabled for a command.</p>
249<p>When false, specifying individual workspaces via the <code>workspace</code> config, or
250all workspaces via the <code>workspaces</code> flag, will cause npm to operate only on
251the specified workspaces, and not on the root project.</p>
252<p>This value is not exported to the environment for child processes.</p>
253<h3 id="description">Description</h3>
254<p>Run this in a package directory to bump the version and write the new data
255back to <code>package.json</code>, <code>package-lock.json</code>, and, if present,
256<code>npm-shrinkwrap.json</code>.</p>
257<p>The <code>newversion</code> argument should be a valid semver string, a valid second
258argument to <a href="https://github.com/npm/node-semver#functions">semver.inc</a> (one
259of <code>patch</code>, <code>minor</code>, <code>major</code>, <code>prepatch</code>, <code>preminor</code>, <code>premajor</code>,
260<code>prerelease</code>), or <code>from-git</code>. In the second case, the existing version will
261be incremented by 1 in the specified field.  <code>from-git</code> will try to read
262the latest git tag, and use that as the new npm version.</p>
263<p>If run in a git repo, it will also create a version commit and tag.  This
264behavior is controlled by <code>git-tag-version</code> (see below), and can be
265disabled on the command line by running <code>npm --no-git-tag-version version</code>.
266It will fail if the working directory is not clean, unless the <code>-f</code> or
267<code>--force</code> flag is set.</p>
268<p>If supplied with <code>-m</code> or <a href="../using-npm/config#message.html"><code>--message</code> config</a> option,
269npm will use it as a commit message when creating a version commit.  If the
270<code>message</code> config contains <code>%s</code> then that will be replaced with the resulting
271version number. For example:</p>
272<pre><code class="language-bash">npm version patch -m "Upgrade to %s for reasons"
273</code></pre>
274<p>If the <a href="../using-npm/config#sign-git-tag.html"><code>sign-git-tag</code> config</a> is set, then the
275tag will be signed using the <code>-s</code> flag to git. Note that you must have a default
276GPG key set up in your git config for this to work properly. For example:</p>
277<pre><code class="language-bash">$ npm config set sign-git-tag true
278$ npm version patch

280You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
281user: "isaacs (http://blog.izs.me/) &lt;i@izs.me&gt;"

284Enter passphrase:
285</code></pre>
286<p>If <code>preversion</code>, <code>version</code>, or <code>postversion</code> are in the <code>scripts</code> property
287of the package.json, they will be executed as part of running <code>npm version</code>.</p>
288<p>The exact order of execution is as follows:</p>
289<ol>
290<li>Check to make sure the git working directory is clean before we get
291started.  Your scripts may add files to the commit in future steps.
292This step is skipped if the <code>--force</code> flag is set.</li>
293<li>Run the <code>preversion</code> script. These scripts have access to the old
294<code>version</code> in package.json.  A typical use would be running your full
295test suite before deploying.  Any files you want added to the commit
296should be explicitly added using <code>git add</code>.</li>
297<li>Bump <code>version</code> in <code>package.json</code> as requested (<code>patch</code>, <code>minor</code>,
298<code>major</code>, etc).</li>
299<li>Run the <code>version</code> script. These scripts have access to the new <code>version</code>
300in package.json (so they can incorporate it into file headers in
301generated files for example).  Again, scripts should explicitly add
302generated files to the commit using <code>git add</code>.</li>
303<li>Commit and tag.</li>
304<li>Run the <code>postversion</code> script. Use it to clean up the file system or
305automatically push the commit and/or tag.</li>
306</ol>
307<p>Take the following example:</p>
308<pre><code class="language-json">{
309  "scripts": {
310    "preversion": "npm test",
311    "version": "npm run build &amp;&amp; git add -A dist",
312    "postversion": "git push &amp;&amp; git push --tags &amp;&amp; rm -rf build/temp"
313  }
314}
315</code></pre>
316<p>This runs all your tests and proceeds only if they pass. Then runs your
317<code>build</code> script, and adds everything in the <code>dist</code> directory to the commit.
318After the commit, it pushes the new commit and tag up to the server, and
319deletes the <code>build/temp</code> directory.</p>
