# Manual Plugins
There are two plugins that are included that can be ran manually, if the build tool plugin does not fit
your use case.
## Generate Version
The `generate-version` plugin will create a `Version.swift` file in the given target. You can
run it by running the following command.
```bash
swift package --disable-sandbox \
--allow-writing-to-package-directory \
generate-version \
<target>
```
> Note: If using the manual version then the `VERSION` variable is an optional string that will be
> `nil`, allowing you to run the `update-version` command in your build pipeline.
## Update Version
The `update-version` plugin can be ran in your build pipeline process to set the version prior to
building for distribution.
```bash
swift package --disable-sandbox \
--allow-writing-to-package-directory \
update-version \
<target>
```
## Options
Both manual versions also allow the following options to customize the operation, the
options need to come after the plugin name.
| Option | Description |
| ------ | ----------- |
| --dry-run | Do not write to any files, but describe where values would be written |
| --filename | Override the file name to be written in the target directory |
| --verbose | Increase the logging output |
### Example with options
```bash
swift package \
--allow-writing-to-package-directory \
generate-version \
--dry-run \
--verbose \
<target>
```
## View the Executable Options
You can also run the following command to view the options in your terminal
```bash
swift run cli-version --help
```
Or
```bash
swift run cli-version <verb> --help
```
Where `verb` is one of, `build`, `generate`, or `update`.
