Stage 5: Package Publishing - TODO

1. Pre-Publishing Checklist

• Update version in __init__.py, setup.py, pyproject.toml
• Create comprehensive CHANGELOG.md
• Update README.md with:
  • Installation from PyPI
  • Configuration examples
  • CI/CD integration guides
  • Badges (PyPI version, build status, coverage)
• Add MANIFEST.in if needed
• Test installation in clean virtualenv

2. Documentation Enhancement

• Add docstring examples
• Create docs/ folder with:
  • Getting Started guide
  • Configuration reference
  • API documentation
  • Integration guides (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)

3. Package Building

# Build distribution
python -m build

# Check distribution
twine check dist/*

# Test with Test PyPI
twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ git-security-scanner

4. PyPI Publishing

# Upload to PyPI
twine upload dist/*

5. Post-Publishing

• Create GitHub release with changelog
• Tag version in git
• Update documentation site
• Announce on:
  • Reddit (r/Python, r/cybersecurity)
  • Twitter/X
  • Dev.to article
  • LinkedIn

6. Optional Enhancements

• Docker image
• GitHub Action in marketplace
• VS Code extension
• Pre-commit hook package

Important Context

• User prefers communication in Russian, but all code and comments should be in English
• The package name should be git-security-scanner on PyPI
• Current version: 0.1.0 (ready for initial release)
• All tests must pass before publishing

First Steps in New Chat

Start with: "Let's proceed with Stage 5: Publishing the Git Security Scanner package to PyPI. Current status: all 88 tests passing, code quality checks complete, all features implemented."
