Bumping version number

When releasing a new version of a nf-core pipeline, version numbers have to be updated in several different places. The helper command nf-core pipelines bump-version automates this for you to avoid manual errors (and frustration!).

The command uses results from the linting process, so will only work with workflows that pass these tests.

Usage is nf-core pipelines bump-version <new_version>, eg:

You can change the directory from the current working directory by specifying --dir <pipeline_dir>. To change the required version of Nextflow instead of the pipeline version number, use the flag --nextflow.
