Versioning unsupported files

Want to bump the version of a file that isn’t natively supported? Request it as a feature and, in the meantime, you can write a script to manually bump that file with the version produced by BumpVersion or PrepareRelease using a Command step, like this:

[package]
versioned_files = []  # With no versioned_files, the version will be determined via Git tag
changelog = "CHANGELOG.md"

[[workflows]]
name = "release"

[[workflows.steps]]
type = "PrepareRelease"

[[workflows.steps]]
type = "Command"
command = "my-command-which-bumps-a-custom-file-with $version"

Caution

The Version variable in the Command step, including the default $version, can’t be used when multiple packages are defined. This is a temporary limitation—if you have a specific use case for this, please file an issue.
