Start with a final version, e.g. `v0.0.1`\r\n2. `$ git commit -m \"ci: CI-specific change not requiring release\"`\r\n3. `$ cz bump --prerelease beta` -\u003e Refuses to bump the version as expected \r\n4. `$ git commit -m \"fix: Prospective fix requiring beta testing\"`\r\n5. `$ cz bump --prerelease beta` -\u003e Bumps to `v0.0.2b0` as expected \r\n6. `$ git commit -m \"build: Local devel change not requiring release\"`\r\n7. `$ cz bump --prerelease beta` -\u003e Bumps unexpectedly to `v0.0.2b1`\r\n\r\n### Current behavior\r\n\r\nMaintainers can't use `$ cz bump` as a tool to interpret conventional commit messages to determine if a release is required when the current version is a pre-release.  When some contributors are making `build: ...`/`ci: ...` changes while features are in beta testing, this behavior results in a lot of noisy, meaningless `v#.#.#b9999999....` bump commits, tags, and releases.\r\n\r\n### Desired behavior\r\n\r\nMaintainers should be able to use `$ cz bump`, or `$ cz ...` in some other form, to determine if the conventional commit messages since the last pre-release require a new pre-release.\r\n\r\n### Environment\r\n\r\n```bash\r\n(build) rpatterson@rpatterson:~/src/devel/python-project-structure$ cz version --report\r\nCommitizen Version: 2.42.1\r\nPython Version: 3.10.6 (main, Nov 14 2022, 16:10:14) [GCC 11.3.0]\r\nOperating System: Linux\r\n```","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rpatterson","@type":"Person","name":"rpatterson"},"datePublished":"2023-03-16T18:24:42.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":11},"url":"https://github.com/688/commitizen/issues/688"}
