❔ What

What mdremotifier does:

Turn this (./mdremotifier/examples/EXAMPLE.md):

# Example markdown file

A link to a local file [LICENSE.md](./LICENSE.md).

Into this (./mdremotifier/examples/EXAMPLE.remotified.md):

# Example markdown file

A link to a local file [LICENSE.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/realazthat/mdremotifier/master/LICENSE.md).

This is useful for uploading README.md files to third-party sites, like the npmjs.com registry, or pypi.org registry, because these registries will break the local images in your README when displayed on their sites.

See https://pypi.org/project/mdremotifier/, notice how all of the images are not broken.

🎇 Features

• 📷🔗📡🌐🖼️ Replace local URLs with raw.githubusercontent.com URLs.

🫡 Contributions

Development environment: Linux-like

• For running pre.sh (Linux-like environment).

  • From ./.github/dependencies.yml, which is used for the GH Action to do a fresh install of everything:

    bash: scripts.
    findutils: scripts.
    grep: tests.
    xxd: tests.
    git: scripts, tests.
    xxhash: scripts (changeguard).
    rsync: out-of-directory test.
    expect: for `unbuffer`, useful to grab and compare ansi color symbols.
    jq: dependency for [yq](https://github.com/kislyuk/yq), which is used to generate
      the README; the README generator needs to use `tomlq` (which is a part of `yq`)
      to query `pyproject.toml`.
    

  • Requires pyenv, or an exact matching version of python as in .python-version (which is currently 3.8.0 ).

  • jq, (installation) required for yq, which is itself required for our ./README.md generation, which uses tomlq (from the yq package) to include version strings from ./pyproject.toml.

  • act (to run the GH Action locally):

    • Requires nodejs.
    • Requires Go.
    • docker.

  • Generate animation:

    • docker

Commit Process

1. (Optionally) Fork the develop branch.
2. Stage your files: git add path/to/file.py.
3. bash ./scripts/pre.sh, this will format, lint, and test the code.
4. git status check if anything changed (generated ./README.md for example), if so, git add the changes, and go back to the previous step.
5. git commit -m "...".
6. Make a PR to develop (or push to develop if you have the rights).

🔄🚀 Release Process

These instructions are for maintainers of the project.

1. In the develop branch, run bash ./scripts/pre.sh to ensure everything is in order.
2. In the develop branch, bump the version in ./pyproject.toml, following semantic versioning principles. Also modify the last_unstable_release and last_stable_release in the [tool.mdremotifier-project-metadata] table as appropriate. Run bash ./scripts/pre.sh to ensure everything is in order.
3. In the develop branch, commit these changes with a message like "Prepare release X.Y.Z". (See the contributions section above).
4. Merge the develop branch into the master branch: git checkout master && git merge develop --no-ff.
5. master branch: Tag the release: Create a git tag for the release with git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Version X.Y.Z".
6. Publish to PyPI: Publish the release to PyPI with bash ./scripts/deploy-to-pypi.sh.
7. Push to GitHub: Push the commit and tags to GitHub with git push && git push --tags.
8. The --no-ff option adds a commit to the master branch for the merge, so refork the develop branch from the master branch: git checkout develop && git merge master.
9. Push the develop branch to GitHub: git push origin develop.
