Bumping refers to the act of increasing your version number. As far as branches are concerned, gitflow does this automatically for you. But your application (or whatever you are versioning) probably wants to know which version it currently is. This is something that you still need to do manually, of course.

When gitflow reports that you should "bump your version number now", it means this: update your files manually so that they reflect the correct version number.

@Dmaster420 no nvie actually means find the location in your code base where you might describe the version and increment it yourself.

for example, within my django applications I typically store the version in the base init.py file :

https://github.com/airtonix/django-ikari/blob/master/ikari/__init__.py

then i use that in the setup.py:

https://github.com/airtonix/django-ikari/blob/master/setup.py#L8

In my case, nvie is saying : "edit the init.py and change it from '0.0.8' to '0.0.9' (or whatever your release version is)

However there exists a forked version of git-flow that provides hooks where you can automate this.

Hi

I'm a bit new with Git and i didn't really understand what you meant with manually update my files? Is there a command for that or do you mean just commit again.
Thanks in advance.

He Vincent,
Dank je wel for the quick reply.
The scripts work great. Not sure how release branches etc works with remotes yet. I think that is still basic git.
Nogmaals Thanks!
