make-release

Make a release by determining the next version, updating the version in the code/config, update sentry and push the release.

It builds on the command line tool for git flow: https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/

Requirements

• git flow init was run with dev and main as the development and production branches
• run git config --global tag.sort -version:refname

Configuration

Put this file into your PATH.

Note: Best is to create a symlink to make it easy to keep the file updated.

sudo ln -s [ABSOLUTE_PATH]/make-release/make-release.sh /usr/local/bin/make-release.sh

Add a "make-release" file into each repository where you want to use make-release.sh with the following contents:

• line 1 (version file name): The file name where the version number is tracked (comma separated list)
• line 2 (sentry organization): Name of the sentry organization, keep empty of sentry is not used
• line 3 (sentry slug): Name of the sentry slug (sentry-cli projects -o [organization name] list), keep empty of sentry is not used
• line 4 (build command): Command to run to build the project, keep empty if sourcemaps are not uploaded during tagging
• line 5 (build path): Relative path for where the build command geneerates the .map files
