tenzir-ship 1.8.1

Reusable changelog management toolkit for Tenzir repositories.

🚀 tenzir-ship

tenzir-ship helps you ship faster with automated release engineering. Manage changelogs, generate release notes, and publish GitHub releases.

✨ Highlights

• 📝 Changelog management: Capture entries via an interactive assistant that pulls metadata from Git and GitHub, pre-filling authors and PR references.
• 📦 Release notes: Generate release notes from structured entries, ready for documentation pipelines or direct publishing.
• 🚀 GitHub releases: Publish releases directly to GitHub with generated notes and assets.
• 🔖 Opinionated versioning: Release manifests and package files use bare semantic versions such as 1.2.3, while Git and GitHub releases are tagged as v1.2.3.
• 🔧 CLI and Python API: Use the command line for interactive workflows or the Python API for automation.

📦 Installation

tenzir-ship ships on PyPI. Use uvx to fetch and execute the latest compatible version on demand (requires Python 3.13+):

uvx tenzir-ship --help

uvx downloads the newest release, runs it in an isolated environment, and caches the result for snappy subsequent invocations.

🛠️ Reusable GitHub Actions workflow

This repository ships a reusable release workflow at .github/workflows/release.yaml. External repositories can call it directly. Pin the workflow to a released tag or full commit SHA instead of a moving branch name.

jobs:
  release:
    uses: tenzir/ship/.github/workflows/release.yaml@<pinned-ref>
    permissions:
      contents: write
    with:
      intro: This release improves parser coverage and fixes packaging.
      bump: auto

The workflow supports GitHub App tokens, static push tokens, GPG signing, pre/post hooks, and several release-control options. See the reference for the full list of inputs, secrets, and auth modes.
