Further thoughts on this, if integrated with something like libraries.io or |
| 13 |
other that can alert to new versions. It may be possible to fully automate |
| 14 |
routine version bumps. Only requiring a human to bump if/when things fail. |

Routine version bumps suck, seem a waste of any humans time if it can be |
| 17 |
automated. This tool is a step in such direction, but can be further expanded |
| 18 |
upon and integrated into other things for more automation :) |
