Version increment command for selected targets.

[ampersarnie]

Having a command that allows for incrementing the version of a specific plugin would help with how we define and perform semver increments.

Example Command Usage

Patch

build-tools version patch
# 1.2.2 → 1.2.3

Minor

build-tools version minor
# 1.2.3 → 1.3.0

Major

build-tools version major
# 1.3.0 → 2.0.0

Beta

build-tools version major:beta
# 2.0.0 → 3.0.0-beta.1

build-tools version beta
# 3.0.0-beta.1 → 3.0.0-beta.2

Increment Multiple

build-tools version minor my-plugin,my-theme
# my-plugin: 2.0.0 → 2.1.0
# my-theme: 3.4.0 → 3.5.0

@ampersarnie Should this have the same functionality as NPM-VERSION i.e | major | minor | patch | premajor | preminor | prepatch | prerelease | from-git] ?

I noticed npm version is only compatible with package.json files so couldn't even wrap this in it as it wouldn't work with PHP files.

Yeah they should, however, some of the naming between what was listed in the description and npm doesn't match word for word but are the same. i.e. premajor = major:beta

You can ignore the from-git version. To help with that comparison, here's what you can use:

NPM/semver	Build Tools	Example Result (x|y)
major	major	x.0.0
minor	minor	1.x.0
patch	patch	1.0.x
premajor	major:beta	x.0.0-beta.y
preminor	minor:beta	1.x.0-beta.y
prepatch	patch:beta	1.0.x-beta.y

If you're unsure on what these versions mean, take a look at our internal RFC on Semantic Versioning.
