Features

• Changelog-Centric: Uses CHANGELOG.md as the source of truth.
• Polyglot: Supports pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, package.json, and go.mod.
• Trusted Publishing: Scaffolds GitHub Actions for secure OIDC-based publishing (PyPI/npm/crates.io).
• Safety: AST-based version injection and robust dry-run previews.

Go projects

Go modules don't have a standard version field in go.mod, so Prepress uses git tags (e.g. v1.2.3) as is standard practice in the Go ecosystem. Run pps init to scaffold a minimal Go CI workflow (along with CHANGELOG.md).

Installation

pip install prepress
# or
uv tool install prepress
