release-scripts

Requirements

• bash terminal
• git version control

Integration

• checkout this repo
• copy all *.sh files into your project
• adjust hooks.sh for your project environment

Integration as a submodule (recommended)

• Perform this steps in terminal:

  $ git submodule add https://github.com/borisskert/release-scripts release-scripts
  $ cp release-scripts/.hooks-default.sh .release-scripts-hooks.sh

• adjust .release-scripts-hooks.sh for your project environment

Perform a standard release

$ ./release.sh <release-version> <next snapshot/beta version>
# Perform next steps the script is telling

Perform a hotfix release

$ ./hotfix_start.sh <hotfix-version>
# commit and push your work into the hotfix-branch
$ ./hotfix_finish.sh <hotfix-version> <current snapshot/beta version>

Revert a (local) release

$ ./revert_release <release-version>

Support branches

If you need to make releases from support branches and also from develop, take care to adjust your hooks to calculate master and develop branches according to versions.

Example: For releasing versions that start with 12., i.e. 12.2 we'll use support-12.x branch, otherwise develop branch:

function get_develop_branch_name {
  if [[ "$1" =~ ^12\..* ]]
  then
    echo "support-12.x"
  else
    echo "develop"
  fi
}

function get_master_branch_name {
  if [[ "$1"  =~ ^12\..* ]]
  then
    echo "master-12.x"
  else
    echo "master"
  fi
}
