Inputs

name	description	required	default
from	Current (old) version string — e.g. 1.2.3	yes	—
to	Next (new) version string — e.g. 1.2.4	yes	—
includes	Files to process. Accepts comma-separated values, YAML inline lists [a, b, c], or multiline strings. Each entry is a glob pattern resolved relative to the repository root (** is supported). Exact filenames like `Cargo.toml` are also valid.	no	Cargo.toml,*/.nix,README.md
excludes	Paths, directory names, or glob patterns to skip. Matched against each path component as well as the full relative path. Defaults cover the directories and lock files that must never be touched.	no	.git,target,node_modules,.artifacts,.lock,-lock.*
toml-dep-prefix	Comma-separated list of name prefixes. Lines in *.toml files whose content contains one of these prefixes will additionally have their `version = "OLD"` dep-pin updated. Useful for monorepos where workspace dependencies carry inline version constraints. Example: `mylib` matches `mylib-core = { ..., version = "1.2.3" }`.	no	""
dry-run	Set to `true` to print what would change without writing any files. Useful for debugging include/exclude patterns in CI.	no	false
commit	Set to `true` to stage and commit the modified files after bumping. Requires the checkout step to have `persist-credentials: true` (the default).	no	false
commit-message	Commit message used when `commit` is `true`.	no	chore: bump version to ${{ inputs.to }}

Outputs

name	description
changed-files	Newline-separated list of repository-relative paths that were modified (empty string when dry-run is true or no changes were needed).
