Would be better as an input of "major" "minor" or "patch", as that removes even more thinking from the equation. See

deadbot/.github/workflows/increment-version-dev.yaml

Lines 27 to 28 in e410ddf

- name: Increment version
run: python3 ./scripts/increment_version.py beta
which uses an existing script to bump "beta"

(might need to modify or make a copy of the function to allow just getting the next version number, rather than actually bumping it)
