git-release-tagger

by Swing Development

Small CLI utility to enable the CI environment to communicate the deployment progress through the use of git tags.

Installation

$ pip install git-release-tagger

Usage

$ tag-release [-h] [-t TRIGGER] [-v] [-m MESSAGE]
               prefix {pending,deploying,failed,success}

Prefix is self explanatory.

If the release was triggered by a tag (like 'release') - use the --trigger option to have the tagger remove it automatically. This enables the user to retry a failed deployment just by tagging the same commit again.

Use -m to add a message to the commit. For example - a link to the build status on Jenkins / TeamCity / other CI.

Examples

$ tag-release production pending

will remove tags:

• 'production_pending',
• 'production_deploying',

• 'production_pending'

$ tag-release production success

• 'production_pending',
• 'production_deploying',
• 'production_failed',
• 'production_success'

• 'production_success'
• 'production_success_2015-11-02_16_34_26'

$ tag-release -t production production success

will remove tags:

• 'production'
• 'production_pending',
• 'production_deploying',
• 'production_failed',
• 'production_success'

will add tags:

• 'production_success'
• 'production_success_2015-11-02_16_34_26'
