Bump

This is an Elixir library that helps manage version numbers in your software projects. When you release updates to code, you need to increment the version — sometimes a small patch fix, sometimes a bigger feature release. Bump automates that process by letting you programmatically update version strings in your codebase.

The library is distributed as an Elixir package, meaning it's designed to be integrated into Elixir projects (Elixir is a programming language that runs on the Erlang virtual machine). You add it as a dependency in your project's configuration file, and then you can call its functions from your own code to bump versions when needed.

The README is minimal and doesn't go into detail about exactly which version-numbering schemes it supports or what methods are exposed. However, the basic use case is straightforward: if you're building an Elixir application and want to automate the tedious task of updating version numbers in files, configuration, or metadata whenever you prepare a release, this package provides the tools to do that.

This would appeal to developers who want to speed up their release process or integrate version management into automated deployment pipelines. Rather than manually editing version strings by hand (which is error-prone), you can write a script that calls Bump to handle it consistently every time.
