release-mgr

A simple tool for managing software releases on GitHub.

This is a polyglot tool, so it aims to supports all kinds of Version metadata files for all languages. I've added the ones that I use every day but feel free to send a PR with the version file for your favourite programming language.

Installation

release-mgr is available on pypi:

pip3 install --user release_mgr
