gulp-release-it

Provides an automatic way to do a release of your npm modules to Git and publish it to NPM Repository.

Usage

npm install gulp-release-it --save-dev

var gulp = require('gulp');
require('gulp-release-it')(gulp);

How release works

First approach `gulp release`

Creates a tag based on current version specified in package.json
Publishes the project to NPM repository
Bumps the version of package.json, bower.json or/and manifest.json

So if you have package.json with version v1.0.0 and do gulp release you will have in GitHub tag v1.0.0, the same in NPM Repo and your package.json will be bumped up to version v1.0.1 (future release version) and committed to GitHub

Second approach `gulp bump-release`

Bumps the version of package.json, bower.json or/and manifest.json
Creates a tag based on current version specified in package.json
Publishes the project to NPM repository

So if you have package.json with version v1.0.0 and do gulp bump-release your package.json will be bumped up and committed to GitHub to v1.0.1 (last released version) and you will have in GitHub tag v1.0.1, the same in NPM Repo.

The big difference between two approaches is in - what do you want to save in your configuration file - the last released version or the future version. The most suitable case you can choose by yourself.

How is bumping works

Currently the plugin watches 3 files to bump up - bower.json, package.json and manifest.json. To keep all of them in sync (even if you have in your current repository state different versions), plugin fetches the version of package.json, bumps it and applies the same version to other files. It can be very handy, especially if somebody from the team decided to update manually one of the files but forgot to do it for another files too.

Different ways to bump the version after release

gulp release --major	v0.0.1 -> v1.0.1
gulp release --alpha	v0.0.1 -> v1.0.1-alpha.0
gulp release --beta	v0.0.1 -> v1.0.1-beta.0
gulp release --RC	v0.0.1 -> v1.0.1-RC.0
gulp release --pre-release gamma	v0.0.1 -> v0.0.1-gamma.0

If you want only to bump the version

gulp bump --minor	v0.0.1 -> v0.1.0
gulp bump --major	v0.0.1 -> v1.0.1
gulp bump --alpha	v0.0.1 -> v1.0.1-alpha.0
gulp bump --beta	v0.0.1 -> v1.0.1-beta.0
