When running `npm version` scripts, how to prevent a new commit from being made

Question

When I run npm version patch, a new commit will be made. I don't want it.

The doc is pretty vague. The flag I guess is relevant is commit-hooks, but I'm not sure how to use it. There's no examples.

I've tried different patterns, for example:

npm version patch --commit-hooks=false

npm version patch --commit-hooks false

But it doesn't seem to work.

The --commit-hooks argument determines if Git Hooks are run on the commit creation.

The command you want is npm version patch --git-tag-version false

Tag the commit when using the npm version command. Setting this to false results in no commit being made at all.
