simtabi-release-kit 0.3.0

Multi-registry publishing automation. PyPI, npm, Docker, Homebrew, Maven, RubyGems, Cargo, NuGet, Packagist, plus seven git hosts. Fluent OOP, config-driven, OIDC-first.

simtabi-release-kit

Multi-registry publishing automation. One config file, one command, every registry your project needs.

pip install simtabi-release-kit
release-kit init
release-kit doctor            # green / amber / red per target
release-kit publish --apply   # dry-run is the default

What it does

• Publishes to package registries: PyPI, npm (+ GitHub Packages, GitLab npm), Docker Hub, GHCR, GitLab Container Registry, AWS ECR, Google Artifact Registry, Azure Container Registry, Homebrew tap, Maven Central, RubyGems, crates.io, NuGet, Packagist.
• Automates git hosts: GitHub.com, GitHub Enterprise (Cloud + Server), GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, Bitbucket Cloud, Bitbucket Data Center, Gitea / Forgejo, Azure DevOps.
• OIDC-first: prefers passwordless trusted publishing. Refuses to fall back to long-lived tokens without --allow-token-auth.
• Dry-run by default: nothing publishes until --apply.
• Pluggable: third parties register custom platforms via [project.entry-points."release_kit.platforms"] without forking.

Quick start

# 1. Install
pip install simtabi-release-kit

# 2. Scaffold a config + .env template
release-kit init

# 3. Verify your credentials and connectivity
release-kit doctor

# 4. Dry-run a publish to selected targets
release-kit publish --target pypi --target ghcr

# 5. For real
release-kit publish --target pypi --target ghcr --apply

Two artefacts in one repo

This repository ships:

1. A reference playbook at docs/playbook/ — 33 markdown files covering every supported registry and git host, following an identical 8-section template. Read it standalone even if you never install the package.
2. The Python automation package under src/release_kit/ — Typer CLI + config-driven runner + per-platform implementations.

Status

Version	0.1.0
Python	≥ 3.11
Platforms (playbook)	26 platforms documented
Platforms (code)	25 platforms registered (16 registries + 8 git hosts + 1 sub-class via inheritance)
Tests	158 passing, 76% coverage (gate 70%)
Type-check	mypy --strict clean on 47 source files

Configuration

Three layers, highest wins:

1. CLI flags (--target pypi --apply)
2. Environment variables (loaded from .env in dev; from CI secret store in prod)
3. JSON config (release.json, validated against the bundled schema)

Example release.json:

{
  "$schema": "./schema/release-kit.schema.json",
  "project": {
    "name": "my-project",
    "version_source": "pyproject.toml"
  },
  "targets": {
    "pypi":           { "enabled": true, "auth": "oidc" },
    "ghcr":           { "enabled": true, "auth": "oidc", "image": "ghcr.io/my-org/my-project" },
    "github_release": { "enabled": true, "draft": false, "generate_notes": true }
  },
  "policies": {
    "require_clean_git": true,
    "require_tag_match": true,
    "continue_on_error": false,
    "default_dry_run": true
  }
}
