Installation

Quick Start

Before using it, make sure your project contains a valid pyproject.toml and that you have configured your PyPI credentials.

Publish a package

pyrelease

This command will:

1. Create the history/ directory if it does not exist.
2. Move existing files in dist/ to history/.
3. Remove build cache (*.egg-info/).
4. Build the package using: python -m build
5. Upload all generated distributions to PyPI using: python -m twine upload dist/*

---

Build only

Build the package without uploading it.

pyrelease --build-only

This will:

• Clean previous build artifacts.
• Build the package.
• Keep the generated files in dist/.

---

Upload only

Upload existing distribution files in dist/.

pyrelease --upload-only

This is useful when a previous upload failed and you do not want to rebuild the package.

---

Clean build artifacts

Archive old distributions without building or uploading.

pyrelease --clean
