yarn version should allow for prerelease identifiers

[likesjx]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

Feature
What is the current behavior?
No way to use version to create specific prerelease identifiers: alpha, beta, rc
If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

What is the expected behavior?
Would like to be able to add a --preid flag to add/keep/change prerelease identifiers to the updated version. Semver supports them.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

Would love for this in yarn as well. Maybe this is related or helpful? #5367

I've implemented this behaviour similar to how it works on npm. Be free to comment or contrbute on the pull request: #7336

@daniseijo Is there a way to remove the .0 at the end? Because for our develop branch we use something like this 0.12.0-dev and the next version would be 0.13.0-dev. With yarn version --preminor --preid dev we get 0.13.0-dev.0

Hi @ahofmeister, I didn't implement the update of versions myself. I used the default semver library methods. Maybe you should take a look at the Prerelease Identifiers section there and see if they offer a way to avoid the .0 at the end.

The functionality in #7336 appears to have been dropped from Yarn 3
