This repo is a stand-in repo for using the release-it package: https://github.com/release-it/release-it I am creating a separate repo with dummy files to test the basic mechanics of release-it without potentially harming my professional codebases. ## Goals for this work: ## 1. Understand how release-it works, especially with respect to how it creates Git tags 2. Successfully produce "releases" 3. Configure any options I may need to change for my professional codebases ## Stretch goals ## 1. Create a bash script to automate the update of version numbers and dates in DESCRIPTION files, files used in R packages to save metadata: https://r-pkgs.org/description.html 2. Create a script to automate deleting git branches that have last been updated a fixed amount in the past, EXCEPT for branches on an exception list.
