bumpVersion

This function let's you bump the version number and creation date of your
package's <code>DESCRIPTION</code> file. Additionally, it bumps the version numbers of a
<code>NEWS.md</code> file and automatically generates a corresponding plain NEWS file
(for R-help pages). Supported versioning system is
<a href="https://semver.org/">MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH</a>.

I tend to repeat the same code chunks over and over again. At
first, this was fine for me and I paid little attention to such redundancies.
A little later, when I got tired of manually replacing Linux filepaths with
the referring Windows versions, and vice versa, I started to stuff some very
frequently used work-steps into functions and, even later, into a proper R
package. And that's what this package is - a hodgepodge of various R functions
meant to simplify (my) everyday-life coding work without, at the same time,
being devoted to a particular scope of application.

bumpVersion function

<dl><dt>element</dt>
<dd><code>character</code>, one of <code>"major"</code>, <code>"minor"</code>, <code>"patch"</code> (default)
to be bumped.</dd>
<dt>pkg.repo</dt>
<dd>Path to package repository folder. Default is current working
directory, i.e. <code>"."</code>.</dd>
<dt>news</dt>
<dd>The <code>NEWS.md</code> file of the repo (assumed to be in top level path).
If this exists, the first line of that file will be rewritten to be
"\&lt;packagename\&gt; \&lt;major.minor.patch\&gt;". Note that the current
implementation assumes that the NEWS file is in <code>.md</code> format. A plain NEWS
file (for R-help pages) will be generated automatically.</dd>
