bump-version	Bump the SDK version after publishing a release. Reads the current version from src/Directory.Build.props, suggests the next minor version, and creates a pull request with the change. Use when asked to bump the version, prepare for the next release, or increment the version number.	Requires gh CLI with repo access for creating branches and pull requests.

Bump Version

Bump the SDK version in src/Directory.Build.props after publishing a release and create a pull request with the change.

Process

Step 1: Read Current Version

Read src/Directory.Build.props on the default branch and extract:

• <VersionPrefix> — the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH version
• <VersionSuffix> — the prerelease suffix (e.g. preview.1), if present

Display the current version to the user: {VersionPrefix}-{VersionSuffix} or {VersionPrefix} if no suffix.

Step 2: Determine Next Version

If the user provided a target version in their prompt, use it. Otherwise, suggest the next minor version with the same suffix pattern:

• Current 0.9.0 with suffix preview.1 → suggest 0.10.0-preview.1
• Current 1.0.0 with no suffix → suggest 1.1.0
• Current 1.2.3 with suffix rc.1 → suggest 1.3.0-rc.1

Present the suggestion and let the user confirm or provide an alternative. Parse the confirmed version into its VersionPrefix and VersionSuffix components.

Step 3: Create Pull Request

1. Create a new branch named bump-version-to-{version} (e.g. bump-version-to-0.10.0-preview.1) from the default branch
2. Update src/Directory.Build.props:
   • Set <VersionPrefix> to the new prefix
   • Set <VersionSuffix> to the new suffix, or remove the element if there is no suffix
3. Commit with message: Bump version to {version}
4. Push the branch and create a pull request:
   • Title: Bump version to {version}
   • Label: infrastructure
   • Base: default branch

Step 4: Confirm

Display the pull request URL to the user.
