Update/bump npm package version before Git commit

Question

I have an Ember NPM based project & use Git for versioning.

I want to update/bump the package.json version before/while doing Git commit.

How do I achieve this? Do I need to use some kind of Git hooks?

Answer 1

Try a pre-commit hook. Found an article on medium which can help you build a pre-commit hook.

Made a git-hook. let me know if this is what you were looking for. There are some in-line comments too which you can use for adding more changed files.

pre-commit

#!/bin/sh
echo "START pre-commit hook"
npm update --save

echo "removing older changed files"

#rm changed.js

#echo "adding package.json and package-lock for changes happened inside npm update"
git add package.json package-lock.json

#echo "adding the changed files only"
#git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM > changed.js

#echo "running git add aganist changed.js files"
#git add ./changed.js

echo "END"
