Usage

Add the following line to ./project/build.sbt.

addSbtPlugin("com.servicerocket" % "sbt-git-flow" % "0.1.2")

Then you can release by using the following

> sbt release

For anything other than the basic instructions provided here, refer to the sbt-release documentation.

Including sbt-release settings

Important: The settings releaseSettings is automatically mixed into all projects, including sub-projects, as this is a sbt auto plugin. If you don't want it for some sub-projects you have to explicitly disable it for them. See [Enabling and disabling auto plugins] (http://www.scala-sbt.org/0.13/tutorial/Using-Plugins.html#Enabling+and+disabling+auto+plugins) for more info.

Caveats

For some commands git sends the output to error stream which will cause some false negative exceptions to appear in the console. For now you can safely ignore this exceptions (for instance when a push to remote happens), but in the future this can be improve by treat those commands differently or wait for this to be fixed in `git.

Releasing

This plugin is configured to be released to ServiceRocket sbt plugins repo in bintray which is a bintray repository, under the name sbt-plugins, under the account servicerocket.

If you want to release this plugin you need the ServiceRocket account credentials and API key, so probably you need to ask your administrator about it. Then you have to setup the credentials using the following sbt command:

> sbt bintrayChangeCredentials

You only have to run this command once (more details on this bintray sbt plugin docs).

Now you can publish using thw following command (you have to reload your project at least once after setting up the credentials):

> sbt publish

Note that publishing snapshot versions is not allowed to bintray. If you need to publish and use a snapshot version in other projects, you can publish this project to your local Ivy repository using the following command:

> sbt publish-local

Other settings

This plugin is an extesntion to sbt-release so the settings supported by that plugin will be respected.

For instance, you can run a non-interactive release by providing the argument with-defaults (tab completion works) to the release command. From command line use the follwoing command:

> sbt 'release with-defaults'

or alternatively from the sbt shell use the release with-defaults command.

You can also optionally avoid running any tests by providing the skip-tests argument to the release command:

> sbt 'release skip-tests'

For more information please refer to sbt-release.
