hop-top/.github

Org-default repo for hop-top. Hosts the publish/mirror layer of the release pipeline: the workflows that run after release-please cuts a tag.

What this is, and is not

This repo is:

• Reusable GitHub Actions workflows that publish to npm / PyPI / crates.io and push subtree splits to read-only mirror repos
• Triggered by <component>/v<version> tag pushes
• Org-level community files (CODE_OF_CONDUCT, SECURITY, CONTRIBUTING)
• Profile rendered at https://github.com/hop-top

This repo is not:

• A version manager — release-please does that
• A changelog generator — release-please does that
• A release-PR opener — release-please does that
• A replacement for release-please

The split: release-please owns "from commit to tag"; dotgithub owns "from tag to published package". They compose; you need both.

I want to USE these workflows in my repo

See SKILL.md — quick-start, secrets reference, common pitfalls.

I want to MODIFY these workflows

See DEVELOPING.md — local setup, authoring rules, how to add a new ecosystem, how this repo self-releases.

Versioning

This repo is itself released via release-please. Plain semver tags: v0.1.0, v0.1.1, v0.2.0, ..., v1.0.0. Plus rolling major tags (v0, v1, ...) auto-maintained by roll-major-tag.yml.

Consuming repos pin to a rolling major (recommended):

uses: hop-top/.github/.github/workflows/publish-on-tag.yml@v0

Auto-updates on each non-breaking release. Pin @v0.1.0 to freeze exactly, @main to follow everything (breaking changes welcome).

See SKILL.md for the full pinning options and DEVELOPING.md for the release flow.
