+# Note on Nushell's `inc` Command
+
+## Background
+
+The Nushell documentation references an `inc` command that was designed to increment values, including semantic version strings:
+- Documentation: https://www.nushell.sh/commands/docs/inc.html
+- Supported flags: `--major`, `--minor`, `--patch`
+
+## Current Status
+
+The `inc` command was available in Nushell versions prior to 0.80 but has been **moved to a plugin** in current versions (0.107.0+).
+
+### nu_plugin_inc
+
+The `inc` functionality is now available as an official Nushell plugin: `nu_plugin_inc`
+
+## Installation
+
+### Step 1: Install the Plugin
+
+```bash
+cargo install nu_plugin_inc
+```
+
+### Step 2: Register the Plugin with Nushell
+
+```bash
+# Start nushell
+nu
+
+# Register the plugin
+plugin add ~/.cargo/bin/nu_plugin_inc
+
+# Or in one command:
+nu -c "plugin add ~/.cargo/bin/nu_plugin_inc"
+```
+
+### Step 3: Verify Installation
+
+```bash
+nu -c '"1.2.3" | inc --patch'
+# Should output: 1.2.4
+```
+
+## Implementation in bump-version.nu
+
+The `scripts/bump-version.nu` script now uses a **hybrid approach**:
+
+1. **First, try to use the `inc` plugin** if it's installed and registered
+2. **Fallback to custom implementation** if the plugin is not available
+
+This ensures the script works whether or not the plugin is installed, while preferring the official plugin when available.
+
+### Code Implementation:
+
+```nushell
+def bump_semver [
+    version: string
+    bump_type: string
+]: nothing -> string {
+    # Try to use inc plugin if available
+    let inc_result = try {
+        match $bump_type {
+            "major" => { $version | inc --major }
+            "minor" => { $version | inc --minor }
+            "patch" => { $version | inc --patch }
+        }
+    } catch {
+        null
+    }
+
+    # If inc plugin worked, return the result
+    if $inc_result != null {
+        return $inc_result
+    }
+
+    # Fallback to custom implementation
+    # [custom implementation code]
+}
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Plugin-first approach**: Uses official nu_plugin_inc when available
+2. **Graceful fallback**: Works without the plugin for compatibility
+3. **No manual configuration**: Script detects and uses the plugin automatically
+4. **Best of both worlds**: Official plugin + guaranteed functionality
+
+## Advantages of Using the Plugin
+
+When the plugin is installed:
+- ✅ Uses official, maintained code from the Nushell team
+- ✅ Consistent with Nushell ecosystem
+- ✅ Automatically updated with plugin updates
+- ✅ Better integration with Nushell's type system
+
+## Compatibility
+
+- **With plugin**: Uses `nu_plugin_inc` (recommended)
+- **Without plugin**: Uses custom implementation (automatic fallback)
+- **Both approaches**: Produce identical results
+
+## Setup in CI/CD
+
+To use the plugin in CI/CD environments, add to your setup:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Install nu_plugin_inc
+  run: |
+    cargo install nu_plugin_inc
+    nu -c "plugin add ~/.cargo/bin/nu_plugin_inc"
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The script now follows best practices by:
+1. Preferring the official `nu_plugin_inc` when available
+2. Providing a fallback for environments without the plugin
+3. Automatically detecting and using the appropriate method
+4. Requiring no changes to the command-line interface

+# Nushell vs Python: Version Bumping Implementation
+
+This document explains why Nushell was chosen as the primary scripting language for version bumping.
+
+## Comparison
+
+### Native JSON Support
+
+**Python:**
+```python
+import json
+
+with open(json_path, 'r') as f:
+    data = json.load(f)
+
+# Modify data
+data['version'] = new_version
+
+with open(json_path, 'w') as f:
+    json.dump(data, f, indent=4)
+```
+
+**Nushell:**
+```nushell
+let data = open $json_path
+let updated_data = ($data | upsert version $new_version)
+$updated_data | to json --indent 4 | save --force $json_path
+```
+
+### Structured Data Handling
+
+Nushell treats JSON, CSV, and other structured data as first-class citizens, making data manipulation more natural and less error-prone.
+
+### Type Safety
+
+**Python:**
+- Dynamic typing with potential runtime errors
+- Manual type checking needed
+- Error handling via try/except
+
+**Nushell:**
+- Strongly typed with better compile-time checks
+- Built-in error handling with `error make`
+- Type coercion with `into int`, `into string`, etc.
+
+### Error Messages
+
+**Python:**
+```
+Traceback (most recent call last):
+  File "bump-version.py", line 59
+    data = json.load(f)
+json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: ...
+```
+
+**Nushell:**
+```
+Error: nu::shell::error
+  × Error: Invalid JSON in file
+  ╭─[bump-version.nu:50:13]
+ 50 │     let data = try {
+    ·                ─┬─
+    ·                 ╰── originates from here
+```
+
+Nushell provides clearer, more actionable error messages with line numbers and context.
+
+## Benefits of Nushell for This Project
+
+1. **Native JSON Support**: No external libraries needed for JSON parsing
+2. **Concise Syntax**: Less boilerplate code (155 lines in Python vs ~150 in Nushell)
+3. **Better Error Handling**: More informative error messages
+4. **Type Safety**: Fewer runtime errors
+5. **Modern Shell**: Better integration with command-line workflows
+6. **Performance**: Efficient structured data processing
+7. **Maintainability**: Cleaner, more readable code
+
+## Note on `inc` Command
+
+Nushell's `inc` functionality for incrementing semantic version strings is now available as an official plugin: `nu_plugin_inc`.
+
+**Our implementation uses a hybrid approach:**
+1. First attempts to use `nu_plugin_inc` if installed
+2. Falls back to custom implementation if plugin is not available
+
+This provides the best of both worlds:
+- Uses official plugin when available (recommended)
+- Guarantees functionality even without the plugin
+- No manual configuration needed
+
+**To install the plugin:**
+```bash
+cargo install nu_plugin_inc
+nu -c "plugin add ~/.cargo/bin/nu_plugin_inc"
+```
+
+See [NUSHELL_INC_COMMAND.md](./NUSHELL_INC_COMMAND.md) for complete details on plugin installation and usage.
+
+## Installation
+
+Nushell can be installed via:
+- Snap: `sudo snap install nushell --classic`
+- Cargo: `cargo install nu`
+- Package managers: See https://www.nushell.sh/book/installation.html
+
+## Compatibility
+
+Both Python and Nushell versions are maintained:
+- **Nushell** (`bump-version.nu`): Primary, recommended version
+- **Python** (`bump-version.py`): Legacy version for compatibility
+
+Both produce identical results and follow the same API.
