Monorepos Support

Git SemVer supports monorepos with multiple projects through the -p, --project option. For example, imagine you've a repository with a project in libs/xyz that you want to version independently:

$ git commit -am "feat: awesome xyz lib"
$ git bump -p libs/xyz -f package.json:version
bump libs/xyz from 0.0.0 to 0.1.0
# creates a tag `libs/xyz/0.1.0`
