FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Electron app deployment to GitHub Releases?▼

Automating Electron app deployment to GitHub Releases is handled by packaging the application and publishing it directly, using automated version checks from package.json to create either stable releases or draft pre-releases.

How does branch-aware prerelease handling work for Electron publishing?▼

Branch-aware prerelease handling for Electron publishing creates stable GitHub Releases when pushing to the main branch, while generating draft pre-releases for features developed on separate Git branches.

How do I build and package Electron apps deterministically using electron-builder?▼

Building and packaging Electron apps deterministically uses `bun run build` and `bun run dist` or `electron-builder` to execute the build process, with specific error handling for build failures and automatic generation of updater metadata.

Can I manage GitHub Release versions automatically from package.json?▼

Managing GitHub Release versions automatically from package.json reads the version field to check for existing Git tags, ensuring that only new versions are packaged and published to GitHub Releases.

What happens when an Electron build fails during the release process?▼

When an Electron build fails during the release process, specific error handling is triggered to catch the failure, preventing a broken package from being published to GitHub Releases.

Does the deploy-electron skill generate auto-update metadata for Electron apps?▼

The deploy-electron skill automatically generates updater metadata during the packaging and publishing process, ensuring Electron applications distributed via GitHub Releases can check for future updates.
