Rt
==

[](#rt)

> Just testing go.

Rt, short for release that, is a tool for quickly creating GitHub releases.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
curl -L https://github.com/felixdorn/release-that/releases/latest/download/release-that -o /usr/bin/rt
chmod +x /usr/bin/rt
```

Once you have installed the binary, you'll need to login to GitHub.

```
rt --login
```

Your personal access token is stored in `~/.rtauth` with restricted permissions (0600).

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

`rt` can work without any configuration, however if you want to customize the release name, contents..., you can create one with the following command:

```
rt --init
```

The default configuration can be found [here](_config.json), it looks like this:

```
{
  "release_notes": {
    "title": "Release :version",
    "commit_format": "* :hash: :message"
  },
  "before_release": [],
  "after_release": [],
  "assets": [],
  "tag_message": "Version :tag"
}
```

`before_release` and `after_release` are an array of commands that will be executed before and after the release process.

`assets` is an array of files that will be uploaded along with the release.

You can use various placeholders in the following keys:

- tag\_message:
    - `:tag` / `:version`
- release\_notes.title:
    - `:tag` / `:version`
- release\_notes.commit\_format:
    - `:hash`
    - `:longHash`
    - `:message`
    - `:author.name`
    - `:author.email`
- before\_release:
    - `:tag` / `:version`
    - `:commit`
    - `:longCommit`
- after\_release:
    - `:tag` / `:version`
    - `:commit`
    - `:longCommit`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can release a new version with the following command:

```
rt --patch # rt -p
rt --minor # rt -m
rt --major # rt -M
rt --custom 4.24.5-linux+stripped
```

The custom version must be a valid semver version.

- `--skip-hooks`

    Skips the execution of the `before_release` and `after_release` hooks. You may specify which hooks to skip `--skip-hooks before_release,after_release`. You may also pass `no` to run every hook (the default).
- `-q, --quiet`

    Suppresses the output of the release process, the only thing printed is the released version.
- `-D, --dry-run`

    Prints the release notes and the release tag, but does not actually create the release.
- `-Q, --no-ansi`

    Disables ANSI colors in the output.
- `-u, --self-update`

    Updates the `rt` binary to the latest version.
- `-v, --version`

    Prints the current version of `rt`.
