Add optional `patch|minor|major` option to the get command

[justinmchase]

I have the need to update some files with the new version before the git commit / tag is created. My problem is I don't know what the new version will be until its calculated by this script, without duplicating the logic.

What I'm picturing is that it would be nice if I could call version get minor which would, instead of printing the current version, it would print the current version with the minor bump applied.

That would allow me to then update the other files I need updated and then once that is all complete, I could call version again to commit it.

e.g.

OLD_VERSION=$(version get)
NEW_VERSION=$(version get minor)
sed -i "" "s/$OLD_VERSION/$NEW_VERSION/" install.sh
sed -i "" "s/$OLD_VERSION/$NEW_VERSION/" README.md
sed -i "" "s/$OLD_VERSION/$NEW_VERSION/" src/version.ts
git add install.sh README.md src/version.ts
git commit 'Updating documentation with new version'

version minor

Also I think this will help solve the "should the version be in typescript" cunundrum... A user will simply be able to use the sed trick above to create their own version.ts file if they want and update it automatically.

Ah nice, I see why you closed #4 with this — I think I'd like to still see room for supporting a typescript VERSION file, but this seems like a nice quality-of-life improvement no matter what

Here is a workaround also, which is equivalent:

OLD_VERSION=$(version get)
NEW_VERSION=$(deno eval "import { inc } from 'https://deno.land/x/semver@v1.4.0/mod.ts'; console.log(inc('$OLD_VERSION', '$RELEASE'))")
