Semantic Release

Inspired by standard-version. Standard-version is awesome, when I develop a JS project, it is always my favorite. But sometimes when I develop a non-JS project, I don't want to integrate npm system to use that. That's why I start this repository. It's developed by Golang and it offers a binary file to execute.

Usage

If you're using golang, you can ....

$ go run github.com/eddiewentw/semantic-release

If you're not using golang ....

There are binary files in release page. You can download it and use in your project.

# make it executable
$ chmod +x ./scripts/semantic-release

$ ./scripts/semantic-release

Please open an issue to tell me if you have a better idea to improve this usage.

Debug

$ /semantic-release --debug

Print more information in every action.

$ /semantic-release --dry-run

Use this flag when you want to know what the next version is.

First release

$ /semantic-release --first-release

Use this flag for your first release. First release will be "v1.0.0".

How does it work

Versioning rule follows Conventional Commits. When you execute it, it does these steps.

1. Write the new version into .semantic-version file.
2. Commit this change and tag it.
