Usage
Release automation
Maintain offers a command to automate bumping version numbers and releasing your project.
$ maintain release patch
This release command will figured out the type of package, whether it be a Python package, Ruby Gem, NPM package etc and then perform the steps necessary to release it. It will bump the version number, create a release commit, tag the release and push it to the respective package manager.
Maintain allows you to specify the major
, minor
or patch
to
automatically bump the respective version number, or you can explicitly
specify a version.
Pull-request
You can configure Maintain to create a pull request and perform the release in two steps. This is useful if you use code-review for the release process:
$ maintain release 1.2.0-beta.1 --pull-request
Once the pull request is merged, you can perform the actual release:
$ maintain release --no-bump
NOTE: This step could be done during continuous integration.
Custom Hooks
By creating a .maintain.yml
file in the root of your repository, you can add
hooks to various stages of the release process.
