12 <h1><a href="../api/npm-version.html">npm-version</a></h1> <p>Bump a package version</p>
13 <h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
14 <pre><code>npm.commands.version(newversion, callback)
15 </code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
16 <p>Run this in a package directory to bump the version and write the new
17 data back to the package.json file.</p>
18 <p>If run in a git repo, it will also create a version commit and tag, and
19 fail if the repo is not clean.</p>
20 <p>Like all other commands, this function takes a string array as its first
21 parameter. The difference, however, is this function will fail if it does
22 not have exactly one element. The only element should be a version number.</p>
