Marviq's shareable coffeelint config baseline.
Clone this repository somewhere, switch to it, then:
$ git config commit.template ./.gitmessage
$ git checkout master
$ git checkout develop
$ git flow init -d
$ npm install
This will:
- Set up a helpful reminder of how to make a good commit message. If you adhere to this, then a detailed, meaningful CHANGELOG can be constructed automatically;
- Ensure you have local
master
anddevelop
branches tracking their respective remote counterparts; - Set up the git flow branching model with default branch names;
- Install all required dependencies;
This project uses git flow
. Here's a quick cheat sheet.
This project uses conventional-changelog/standard-version
for automatic versioning and
CHANGELOG management.
To make this work, please ensure that your commit messages adhere to the
Commit Message Format. Setting your git config
to
have the commit.template
as referenced below will help you with a detailed reminder of how to do this on every git commit
.
$ git config commit.template ./.gitmessage
-
Determine what your next semver
<version>
should be:$ version="<version>"
-
Create and checkout a
release/v<version>
branch off ofdevelop
:$ git flow release start "v${version}"
-
Bump the package's
.version
, update the CHANGELOG, commit these, and tag the commit asv<version>
:$ npm run release
-
If all is well this new
version
should be identical to your intended<version>
:$ jq ".version == \"${version}\"" package.json
If this is not the case, then either your assumptions about what changed are wrong, or (at least) one of your commits did not adhere to the Commit Message Format Discipline; Abort the release, and sort it out first.
-
Merge
release/v<version>
back into bothdevelop
andmaster
, checkoutdevelop
and deleterelease/v<version>
:$ git flow release finish -n "v${version}"
Note that contrary to vanilla
git flow
, the merge commit intomaster
will not have been tagged (that's what the-n
was for). This is done becausenpm run release
has already tagged its own commit.I believe that in practice, this won't make a difference for the use of
git flow
; and ensuring it's done the other way round instead would render the use ofconventional-changelog
impossible.
git checkout v<version>
npm publish
git checkout develop
