About:
svu is a command-line utility written in Go that helps manage semantic versioning for software projects. It automatically calculates version numbers based on conventional commit messages, supporting bumping major, minor, and patch versions. The tool integrates seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines to automate version tagging and release management.

Key Features:

Automatic version bumping based on conventional commits
Supports pre-release, metadata, and build versions
Git tag integration for automated releases
Lightweight and fast Go binary
Easy CI/CD integration

Use Cases:

Automating version management in CI/CD pipelines
Generating semantic version tags for release workflows
Standardizing commit message conventions across teams

Alternatives:

standard-version – Node.js based, requires npm ecosystem vs svu's standalone Go binary
semantic-release – More complex plugin-based system vs svu's simpler, focused approach
