Option for suggest command to output just the suggested version

[SebSept]

/php-semver-checker-git.phar suggest  --only-version "./" "./" 

So it output only

0.4.0

Or maybe the result like :

Testing HEAD against tag: 0.3.1

Initial semantic version: 0.3.1
Suggested semantic version: 0.4.0

should be display only with the -v option passed

What do you think of that ?

I wouldn't mind, but for what purpose would you need it?

Other than that, it is pretty easy to write a wrapper script that extracts the version out of the final output.

I'd like to replace a placeholder in the code with the php-semver-checker-git result. So Application version is automatically updated.
So a git hook, before commit, can replace that placeholder with the suggested version.
(That's a symfony console app packaged as phar - http://api.symfony.com/master/index.html?q=setVersion )

[SebSept]

this can do the trick with awk

./php-semver-checker-git.phar suggest | awk '/Suggested semantic version: / {print $4}'

so maybe this is not a relevant enhancement ...

@SebSept As long as the output of php-semver-checker-git does not change, absolutely.

However, I do think there's some value in outputting only the suggested semantic version number. I'll try to figure out an appropriate solution when I have some free time.

Right, it's weak because it rely on the output, that's just a tip. Thanks :)
