#productivity #github #php #showdev

Please is a bash script for automating new version release in Github which supports both public and private repositories. If you embrace semver this is the right tool for you. It saves you time and boosts productivity if you maintain many packages and their versioning/releasing.

What it does and how

Determine remote git repo based on local git config
Checkout and Update master
Get latest release from github api endpoint
Collect new commits since the latest release
Create a changelog (prepend to if exists), reflect that into ./CHANGELOG.md file and commit it
Bump the version, reflect that into ./VERSION file
- If any of the latest commits start with feat <minor> is bumped
- But if only you didnt explicitly pass scope already
If there is package.json file, bump package.json#version
Commit all changes
If package.json#private is not set to true
- If npm user not already logged in, run npm adduser
- Run npm publish finally
Release the new version and tag to github
If there is box.json file, compile phar using box (download box.phar if required)
Upload the compiled phar as asset for the recent release
