uv-publish 1.4

Wrapper tool ito run `uv publish` using default credentials from `~/.pypirc`

UV-PUBLISH - run uv publish using credentials from your ~/.pypirc

uv-publish is a simple command line wrapper to run uv publish using your configured Python PyPi credentials from your ~/.pypirc file. Simply run uv-publish instead of uv publish with any of the options and arguments that uv publish normally accepts. uv-publish will read your ~/.pypirc and pass those credentials to uv publish as arguments --username, --password, or --token, and --publish-url. Those arguments are passed automatically at the start of the uv publish command line so they can be overridden manually by later arguments if required.

Note that similar tools to push your Python packages to PyPi such as twine, hatch, and flit recognise the common ~/.pypirc file so this wrapper is created to enable uv publish to do the same.

By default uv-publish will use the first repository in your ~/.pypirc file (defaulting to pypi if the file does not exist). You can specify the repository to use from your ~./pypirc file with the --repository (or --repo) option. This is the only option that uv-publish accepts itself, all other options and arguments are passed directly to uv publish. Note that --repository is the same switch that twine and flit accept, and --repo is the same switch that hatch accepts, so both are supported by uv-publish.

This utility has been developed and tested on Linux but should also work on macOS and Windows although has not been tried on those platforms. The latest documentation and code is available at https://github.com/bulletmark/uv-publish.

How to run

You are a uv user so you should have uv installed. Just run uv-publish as follows (uv-publish will get automatically installed by uvx if you don't already have it):

$ uvx uv-publish [uv publish options]

E.g. if you use twine to publish your package[s] and you store your PyPi credentials in ~/.pypirc then you can swap to uv-publish by simply changing the command:

$ twine upload dist/*

to:

$ uvx uv-publish

Of course uv-publish is available from PyPi so you can choose to install it using pipx or pipxu or uv tool if you prefer a traditional approach.
