README

This is a simple command-line tool built with PHP that helps you work with SemVer (Semantic Versioning) strings. You can use it to check if a version string is valid, compare two versions to see which one is greater, or increase a version by major, minor, or patch levels.

Requirements

• PHP 7.4 or higher
• Composer

Installation

You can install it globally or locally using Composer:

composer global require syntatis/version-cli

Or, use as a development dependency in your project:

composer require --dev syntatis/version-cli

Usage

If you run it globally, you can use the version command directly in your terminal:

version --help

If you installed it locally in your project, run it using the vendor binary:

vendor/bin/version --help

The command provides several options to work with version strings:

Command	Description	Usage
validate	Validates the given version string against the SemVer specification.	version validate 1.0.0
increment	Increments the version string by major, minor, or patch.	version increment 1.0.0
gt	Compares two version strings to see if the first is greater than the second.	version gt 1.0.0 0.9.0
lt	Compares two version strings to see if the first is less than the second.	version lt 1.0.0 0.9.0
eq	Compares two version strings to see if they are equal.	version eq 1.0.0 1.0.0

The command supports both patterns with or without the v prefix, so you can use 1.0.0 or v1.0.0. For more details on each command, you can run:
