update package.json version automatically

Right answer

To do so, just npm version patch =)

My old answer

There is no pre-release hook originally in git. At least, man githooks does not show it.

If you’re using git-extra (https://github.com/visionmedia/git-extras), for instance, you can use a pre-release hook which is implemented by it, as you can see at https://github.com/visionmedia/git-extras/blob/master/bin/git-release. It is needed only a .git/hook/pre-release.sh executable file which edits your package.json file. Committing, pushing and tagging will be done by the git release command.

If you’re not using any extension for git, you can write a shell script (I’ll name it git-release.sh) and than you can alias it to git release with something like:

git config --global alias.release '!sh path/to/pre-release.sh $1'

You can, than, use git release 0.4 which will execute path/to/pre-release.sh 0.4. Your script can edit package.json, create the tag and push it to the server.
