Usage

pub_version_plus supports four commands:

• major
• minor
• patch
• build

Depending on how you pub_version_plus installed, you have a couple of different ways to use it:

#! installed globally
$ pubversion <version-type>

#! installed as a dev dependency
#! Flutter
$ flutter pub run pub_version_plus:main <version-type>

#! Dart
$ dart pub run pub_version_plus:main <version-type>

Pre-Releases

If you want to add a pre-release to your version number, you can do so by using the --pre-release flag.

pubversion major --pre-release beta

This will increment the version number 1.2.3 to 2.0.0-beta

Build Number

The build number will automatically be incremented (if it exists) by one every time you run the major, minor, or patch commands.

You can also specify how the build number should be modified by using the --build flag.

pubversion major --build remove # Removes the build number
pubversion major --build reset # Resets the build number to 0
pubversion major --build increment # Increments the build number by 1 (default)
pubversion major --build none # Does not modify the build number
