--patch	-	target	Tells CLI to target the patch version number
--build-number	-	target	Tells CLI to target the build-number
--with-path	-	target	Tells CLI to request the path from you and not check the current directory
--set-path		N/A	Sets path to pubspec.yaml file

NOTE: set-path takes precedence over with-path. Tool will remove the with-path or any duplicates for this found.

The change command takes in options which you can pass in values to. It also includes one flag.

Flags	Shorthand abbreviation	Function
--with-path	-	Tells CLI to request the path from you and not check the current directory
--set-path		Sets path to pubspec.yaml file

Options	Shorthand abbreviation	Function
--name	-	Change the name in pubspec.yaml
--description	-	Change the description of your project in pubspec.yaml
--yaml-version	-	Option to completely change the version in pubspec.yaml
--homepage	-	Change the homepage url in pubspec.yaml

--issue_tracker	-	Change the url pointing to an issue tracker in pubspec.yaml
--documentation	-	Change the url pointing to your project's documentation in pubspec.yaml

Default

• The tool will always check the current folder for the pubspec.yaml file. Add a --with-path flag to nudge the CLI to request the path from you.

mag modify -b --major --with-path

# Requests path after validating the arguments passed.

• The tool will always do a relative versioning strategy. The collective version will be bumped up/down based on the position of the version passed in.

mag modify --bump --major # Bumps version 1.1.1 to 2.0.0

mag modify --bump --minor # Bumps version 1.1.1 to 1.2.0

mag modify --bump --patch # Bumps version 1.1.1 to 1.1.2

• The tool allows for various versions to be modified simultaneously. If more than one version target is passed in, version with the highest weight will be used to relatively bump up the collective version.
  • major - 20
  • minor - 10
  • patch - 5
  • build-number - 0

mag modify --bump --major --minor --patch 

# Bumps version 1.1.1 to 2.0.0
# major version has the highest weight

• If you need each version to be bumped independently, pass in the --absolute flag.

mag modify --bump --major --minor --patch --absolute

# Bumps version 1.1.1 to 2.2.2
