To increase the patch version number using npm, you can use the npm version
command with the patch
argument. This command automatically increments the patch version and updates the version in your package.json
file.
Here's the command:
npm version patch
After running this command, npm will increase the patch version in your package.json
, create a new commit, and tag the commit with the updated version. Make sure to push the changes to your repository afterward:
git push && git push --tags
This assumes that your project is using git for version control. If you are using a different version control system, adjust the commands accordingly.
