[![CI](https://github.com/syntatis/version-cli-php/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/syntatis/version-cli-php/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

This is a simple command-line tool built with PHP that helps you work with [SemVer (Semantic Versioning)](https://semver.org/) strings. You can use it to check if a version string is valid, compare two versions to see which one is greater, or increase a version by major, minor, or patch levels.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.4 or higher
- Composer

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install it globally or locally using Composer:

```
composer global require syntatis/version-cli
```

Or, use as a development dependency in your project:

```
composer require --dev syntatis/version-cli
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

If you run it globally, you can use the `version` command directly in your terminal:

```
version --help
```

If you installed it locally in your project, run it using the vendor binary:

```
vendor/bin/version --help
```

The command provides several options to work with version strings:

  Command Description Usage    `validate` Validates the given version string against the SemVer specification. `version validate 1.0.0`   `increment` Increments the version string by major, minor, or patch. `version increment 1.0.0`   `gt` Compares two version strings to see if the first is greater than the second. `version gt 1.0.0 0.9.0`   `lt` Compares two version strings to see if the first is less than the second. `version lt 1.0.0 0.9.0`   `eq` Compares two version strings to see if they are equal. `version eq 1.0.0 1.0.0`  The command supports both patterns with or without the `v` prefix, so you can use `1.0.0` or `v1.0.0`. For more details on each command, you can run:

```
version list
```
