FAQPage Schema
How do I automate version bumps and GitHub releases for semantic versioning projects?▼

Automate version bumps and GitHub releases by running a single command that updates version files, generates a changelog from commits, tags the commit, and publishes via the gh CLI. It enforces preflight checks for consistent, auditable software releases.

Can I test a git release workflow before pushing changes to the remote repository?▼

Yes, you can test a git release workflow using the --dry-run flag to execute preflight checks and preview version bumps without pushing changes, or use --no-push to commit and tag locally without updating the remote repository.

How is a changelog generated from commits during an automated release?▼

A changelog is generated automatically by parsing commit history since the last release tag. The extracted commit messages are compiled into a changelog file and published alongside the GitHub release notes.

Does this release automation tool support alpha pre-releases for CI/CD pipelines?▼

Yes, release automation supports alpha pre-releases through the --alpha flag, enabling CI/CD pipelines to publish pre-release versions while maintaining semantic versioning conventions and automated tag creation.

What prerequisites are needed to publish GitHub releases automatically via CLI?▼

Publishing GitHub releases automatically requires a git repository using semantic versioning and the gh CLI installed and authenticated. The tool executes preflight checks to verify these dependencies before bumping versions and creating annotated tags.
