A clean, modular CLI tool for automated version management and git workflow. Handles version bumping, interactive commits, and GitHub pushes with a focus on simplicity and control.

• 🌐 Registry support (npm, Verdaccio, custom registries)
• 🌿 Interactive Git workflow (branch, commit, push)
• 📁 Smart file selection for commits
• 🔍 Dry-run mode for testing
• ⚡ Force mode for edge cases
• 🏗️ Clean ES6 modular architecture
