cargo-hublish

Automatically publish your Rust projects to Github releases.

Installation

You can install cargo-hublish using cargo itself with the following one-liner

cargo install cargo-hublish

Why

I like to write tools, specifically CLI tools. Publishing those tools to Github is a great way to distribute the project. However creating Github releases is fairly tedious so I decided to automate it using metadata from the Cargo.toml

Contributing

I'm always happy to accept pull requests for any features you would like to see added, a few I personally would like to see added are:

• Automate cross compiling the project and put the resulting builds in the release using the upload_url
• Integration tests (not sure what the best way to do this is personally given it's so dependent on the Github API. If you have ideas please send them my way!)

If you're not sure if your feature is a good fit or not, just submit a Github issue asking for comments before you start working on it!

As always follow the Rust Code of Conduct, not only is it the nice thing to do it's one of the reasons I personally get so excited about Rust.

If something you add isn't covered by an existing integration test, please please please write one for your thing.

Please submit all pull requests to the develop branch.

Building from source

Just like any Rust project you can simply build with cargo build however I've included a make file which adds some niceties for performing certain commands. Specifically when running tests you should always use make test since it will clean up and regenerate the cargo project used for integration testing.
