📤 Publishing to PyPI

🤖 Automated Publishing (GitHub Actions)

This project uses GitHub Actions for automatic PyPI publishing:

1. Bump version in pyproject.toml and babin_cli/__init__.py
2. Commit, tag, and push: git tag vx.y.z && git push origin main --tags
3. ✅ The workflow auto-builds and uploads to PyPI

You can also go to Releases → Create a new release → Publish to trigger it.

📦 Manual Publishing

For manual publishing or testing:

# Install build tools
pip install build twine

# Build distribution packages
python -m build

# Test on TestPyPI first (recommended)
twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*

# Upload to production PyPI
twine upload dist/*

⚙️ First-Time Setup

For GitHub Actions:

1. Go to pypi.org → Your Project → Settings → Publishing
2. Add Trusted Publisher with:
   • Owner: your-github-username
   • Repository: your-repository-name
   • Workflow: publish.yml (or your workflow filename)
   • Environment: (leave blank)
3. Save → GitHub Actions can now publish without API tokens

For Manual Publishing:

1. Create PyPI account at https://pypi.org/account/register/
2. Generate API token at https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/
3. Use token as password with username __token__

⚠️ Important: PyPI does not auto-sync with GitHub pushes. You must create a Release to trigger publishing.
