Quick Start

Get up and running with sley in under a minute.

Other installation methods

See Installation for all installation options (go install, asdf, prebuilt binaries, build from source).

Try It

sley init                  # interactive: select plugins, creates .version and .sley.yaml
sley init --migrate        # or pull version from existing package.json/Cargo.toml
sley show                  # prints current version

sley bump patch            # 1.2.3 -> 1.2.4
sley bump minor            # 1.2.4 -> 1.3.0
sley bump auto             # smart bump: strips pre-release or bumps patch
sley set 2.0.0 --pre beta  # set version with pre-release
sley bump pre              # 2.0.0-beta -> 2.0.0-beta.1
sley bump pre --label rc   # switch to 2.0.0-rc.1

sley tag create --push     # create and push git tag
sley changelog merge       # merge versioned changelogs into CHANGELOG.md

sley doctor                # validate setup and configuration

TIP

sley works out-of-the-box with sensible defaults. Create a .sley.yaml only when you need to customize behavior.
