# How to Bump MetaMask's Version Automatically
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
npm run version:bump patch
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MetaMask publishes using a loose [semver](https://semver.org/) interpretation. We divide the three segments of our version into three types of version bump:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Major
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Means a breaking change, either an API removed, or a major user expectation changed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Minor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Means a new API or new user feature.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Patch
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Means a fix for a bug, or correcting something that should have been assumed to work a different way.
|
||
|

# Bumping the version
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`npm run version:bump $BUMP_TYPE` where `$BUMP_TYPE` is one of `major`, `minor`, or `patch`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will increment the version in the `app/manifest.json` and `CHANGELOG.md` files according to our current protocol, where the manifest's version is updated, and any line items currently under the changelog's "master" section are now under the new dated version section.
|
||
|

|
# Modifying the bump script
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The script that is executed lives [here](../development/run-version-bump.js).
|
||
|
|
The main functions all live [here](../development/version-bump.js).
|
||
|
|
The test for this behavior is at `test/unit/development/version-bump-test.js`.
