Simulate the future version #1019

Open nosalan opened 9 months ago

nosalan commented 9 months ago

Question: I want to display an output that the version is about to be upgraded before running the nbgv prepare-release command. In order to display it, I need to get somehow the next future version, which for example depends on the version increment being set in theversion.json file. Is there a way to get the version that nbgv prepare-release will set in a simulative manner?

No. What if we added a --what-if switch, which prints the new version but doesn't actually make any changes? Do you need the output to be machine-readable, or merely human readable?

nosalan commented 9 months ago

--what-if sounds excellent, preferably with the machine-readable output.

Great. We'll keep this issue active in case you or others can prepare the PR.
