simple bash script to increment the version number of the format major.minor.build

version.sh

#!/bin/bash

version="$1"
major=0
minor=0
build=0

# break down the version number into it's components
regex="([0-9]+).([0-9]+).([0-9]+)"
if [[ $version =~ $regex ]]; then
  major="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
  minor="${BASH_REMATCH[2]}"
  build="${BASH_REMATCH[3]}"
fi

# check paramater to see which number to increment
if [[ "$2" == "feature" ]]; then
  minor=$(echo $minor + 1 | bc)
elif [[ "$2" == "bug" ]]; then
  build=$(echo $build + 1 | bc)
elif [[ "$2" == "major" ]]; then
  major=$(echo $major+1 | bc)
else
