This gem plugin adds a tag and a release command to the rubygems gem command.
The tag command
- executes
git tag -am 'tag [tag_name]' [tag_name]and - executes
git push --tags origin
… with tag_name being the version number as specified in your .gemspec preceeded by a "v" (e.g. v0.0.1).
The release command
- builds a gem from your gemspec and
- pushes it to rubygems.org
- deletes the gem file
- optionally invokes the
tagcommand
Obviously …
$ gem install gem-release
$ gem release path/to/your.gemspec $ gem release
If you don’t specify a gemspec filename the first \*.gemspec file found in your current working directory will be used.
