bump_version 0.1.0

A CLI tool to auto-bump the version and build number in a Flutter/Dart pubspec.yaml before each release build.

bump_yaml_version

Auto-bump the version: field in your Flutter/Dart pubspec.yaml before every release build — no more manually editing x.y.z+N by hand.

Install (global CLI)

dart pub global activate bump_yaml_version

Usage

Run from your project root (where pubspec.yaml lives):

# bump build number only: 1.2.3+7 -> 1.2.3+8
bump_yaml_version

# bump patch: 1.2.3+7 -> 1.2.4+8
bump_yaml_version patch

# bump minor: 1.2.3+7 -> 1.3.0+8
bump_yaml_version minor

# bump major: 1.2.3+7 -> 2.0.0+8
bump_yaml_version major

# point at a different pubspec.yaml
bump_yaml_version patch -f path/to/pubspec.yaml

Then build as usual:

flutter build appbundle

Why not touch android/app/build.gradle?

Standard Flutter projects read versionCode/versionName directly from pubspec.yaml via flutter.versionCode / flutter.versionName in android/app/build.gradle. Bumping pubspec.yaml is enough unless your project hardcodes those values instead.

As a dev_dependency + script

dev_dependencies:
  bump_yaml_version: ^0.1.0

dart run bump_yaml_version patch
