commit_version_bump

Creates a 'Version Bump' commit. Run after increment_build_number

This action will create a 'Version Bump' commit in your repo. Useful in conjunction with increment_build_number.
It checks the repo to make sure that only the relevant files have changed. These are the files that increment_build_number (agvtool) touches:

  • All .plist files
  • The .xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file

Then commits those files to the repo.
Customize the message with the :message option. It defaults to 'Version Bump'.
If you have other uncommitted changes in your repo, this action will fail. If you started off in a clean repo, and used the ipa and or sigh actions, then you can use the clean_build_artifacts action to clean those temporary files up before running this action.

Lane Variables

Actions can communicate with each other using a shared hash lane_context, that can be accessed in other actions, plugins or your lanes: lane_context[SharedValues:XYZ]. The commit_version_bump action generates the following Lane Variables:

SharedValue Description
SharedValues::MODIFIED_FILES The list of paths of modified files

To get more information check the Lanes documentation.


Documentation

To show the documentation in your terminal, run

fastlane action commit_version_bump

CLI

It is recommended to add the above action into your Fastfile, however sometimes you might want to run one-offs. To do so, you can run the following command from your terminal

fastlane run commit_version_bump

To pass parameters, make use of the : symbol, for example

fastlane run commit_version_bump parameter1:"value1" parameter2:"value2"

It's important to note that the CLI supports primitive types like integers, floats, booleans, and strings. Arrays can be passed as a comma delimited string (e.g. param:"1,2,3"). Hashes are not currently supported.

It is recommended to add all fastlane actions you use to your Fastfile.


Source code

This action, just like the rest of fastlane, is fully open source, view the source code on GitHub
