Generating a new version

To generate a new version, just run theses commandes (and change the "-patch" option in the NEXT_VERSION line if necessary):

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fmahnke/shell-semver/master/increment_version.sh > increment_version.sh
chmod +x ./increment_version.sh
CURRENT_VERSION=$(git tag | tail -1)
NEXT_VERSION=$(./increment_version.sh -patch $CURRENT_VERSION) # -patch, -minor or -major
sed -i "s#gitpuller-docker:$CURRENT_VERSION#gitpuller-docker:$NEXT_VERSION#g" README.md docker-compose.yml
git commit README.md docker-compose.yml -m "Version $NEXT_VERSION" 
git tag $NEXT_VERSION
git push && git push --tags
