SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ship workflow orchestration: coordinates merging the base branch, running tests, reviewing diffs, bumping VERSION, updating CHANGELOG, committing, pushing, and creating a PR. It also proactively suggests when deployment is appropriate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end automation of the ship process: merge, test, review, version bump, changelog update, commit, push, and PR creation.
  • Proactive deployment suggestions when code is ready, plus guardrails to prevent unsafe releases.
  • Works across typical repo layouts used by gemstack, with deterministic, auditable steps and non-interactive execution.

Quick Start

Start the ship workflow on a feature branch to automatically merge, test, review, bump versions, and open a PR.

Automating your git workflow involves coordinating test runs, diff reviews, version bumps, changelog updates, commits, and PR creation. This process targets feature branches in CI-enabled repos to handle the ship workflow end-to-end.

What is end-to-end ship workflow orchestration?▼

End-to-end ship workflow orchestration coordinates merging the base branch, running tests, reviewing diffs, bumping VERSION, updating CHANGELOG, committing, pushing, and creating a PR. It ensures non-interactive execution with comprehensive logging and safe fallbacks.

Can I automate version bumps and changelog updates in a CI pipeline?▼

Yes, you can automate version bumps and changelog updates within a CI pipeline. The ship workflow automatically merges base branches, runs tests, bumps VERSION, updates CHANGELOG, commits, pushes, and opens PRs deterministically.

Does automated PR creation work with feature branches in CI-enabled repos?▼

Automated PR creation works specifically with feature branches in CI-enabled repos. The workflow enforces guardrails for reviews and deployment readiness, ensuring safe non-interactive execution and comprehensive logging across typical repo layouts.

What's the best way to coordinate code reviews and deployment readiness?▼

Coordinating code reviews and deployment readiness is best handled through automated workflow orchestration that reviews diffs, enforces guardrails, and proactively suggests when deployment is appropriate based on comprehensive test and review outcomes.

Why does automated shipping need guardrails and safe fallbacks?▼

Automated shipping needs guardrails and safe fallbacks to prevent unsafe releases during non-interactive execution. These guardrails enforce review and deployment readiness checks, ensuring the automated merge, test, and commit process remains auditable and safe.
