Tools to automate release to GitHub, pypi and conda
Project description
easyrelease
Automate your GitHub, pypi and conda releases
How to install
Via pip
pip install easyrelease
or via conda
conda install -c pablormira easyrelease
Packages vs Application
We conceptually differentiate between two kind of projects:
- Packages: These are python projects you want to bundle for others to install via
pip
orconda
- Applications: These are python projects without packaging purposes like a web application. You can still use this package for this kind of projects in order to automate your release workflow
How to use
Prerequisites
After installation you need the fulfill the following prerequisites for the package to work:
Git project
You need to initialize a git project in your project root folder for this package to work, i.e. run in your command line
git init
GitHub credentials
You need to store your GitHub credentials (GitHub username and token) in your project root for automatic GitHub releases. The credentials should be stored in a file called .gh-credentials
with the following contents:
gh_user = Your GitHub username
gh_token = Your GitHub token
Package structure
Only for python packages
For this package to work you need to comply to the following minimal project structure for python packages
package_name
|-- .git
|-- package_name
| |-- __init__.py
| |-- module1.py
| |-- module2.py
| |-- ...
|-- tests
| |-- test_module1.py
| |-- test_module2.py
| |-- ...
Pypi credentials
Only for python packages
To publish to Pypi you need to store your pypi credentials in a file with the name .pypi-credentials
in your user root or project root directory. The file should include the following contents
username = Your Pypi username
password = Your Pypi password
Anaconda credentials
Only for python packages
To publish to Anaconda you need to store your anaconda credentials in a file with the name .anaconda-credentials
in your user root or project root directory. The file should include the following contents
username = Your Anaconda username
password = Your Anaconda password
CONDA_BLD_PATH
Only for Linux users and only in case of problems
In case of problems concerning permission errors building your package via build-conda-package
you may need to add the following line to your ~/.bashrc
export CONDA_BLD_PATH=/tmp/conda-bld
Getting started
For applications
Only once:
- Fulfill the prerequisites
- Run
easyrelease-init application
- Edit your in the previous step generated file
settings.ini
- Edit your in the previous step generated file
.gh-release-config.yaml
.gh-release-config.yaml
sets the title and keyword that will be used to assign your commits to a certain section in your GitHub release notes and changelog. So if for example you want all commits to be in your release notes without keyword matching, you could modify .gh-release-config.yaml
as
gh_categories:
- title: "### Commits:"
keyword: ""
Each time you want to make a GitHub release:
- Run
gh-release
to make a GitHub release - Run
make-changelog
to generate / update your CHANGELOG
For packages
Only once:
- Fulfill the prerequisites
- Run
easyrelease-init application
- Edit your in the previous step generated file
settings.ini
- Edit your in the previous step generated file
.gh-release-config.yaml
- Run
login-to-anaconda
Each time you want to release / publish your package:
- Run
publish-pypi-package
to publish to pypi - Run
update-meta-yaml
to generate / update your meta.yaml under conda-bld
- (Optionally recommended): Check your meta.yaml
- Run
build-conda-package
to build your conda package - Run
upload-conda-package
to publish your conda package - Run
gh-release
to make a GitHub release - Run
make-changelog
to generate / update your CHANGELOG
Versioning
We version our package via semantic versioning, i.e.,
- We use three digits separated by points x1.x2.x3, e.g. 0.5.1
- We increase x1 (the major version) if we introduce breaking changes
- Exception: Versions with 0 at the beginning (e.g. 0.5.1) mean that the package is not stable yet and therefore every new feature could be a breaking change
- We increase x2 (the minor version) if we introduce a new feature
- We increase x3 (the patch version) if we fix a bug
New documentation, refactoring / maintenance of code and admin tasks do not change the versions.
You can follow the changes introduced by each version in our CHANGELOG
Differences to fastrelease
This package was inspired by the fastrelease package but it differs from it in the way it generates the release notes.
easyrelease
generates the release notes out of the commit messages whereas fastrelease
generates the release notes out of GitHub issues.
This package was also motivated by the fact that fastrelease
did not work for me out of the box in my first attempt and I really liked the idea of automating releases and package publishing.
Compatibility with nbdev
This package was developed and is compatible with the nbdev framework but it also works for ordinary project development without notebooks.
In the case you want to develop your project with nbdev
you need to first initialize your project via nbdev
and afterwards run easyrelease-init
. This is because the settings.ini
we initialize for your project is a proper / strict subset of the settings.ini
from nbdev
