gulp-git-release - OBSOLETE

Obsolete notice

This project is obsolete.

Do pre-releases and releases of gulp based projects into Git repository.

The files in the release repository is going to be tagged with either the release version or with the sha of the current source state if doing a pre-release. That is the flow of a release will be as follows:

• The version is read from bower.json or package.json with preference for the first.
• The distribution Git repository is cloned.
• The content of the distribution repository is replaced with the files to be distributed.
• The new distribution is committed and tagged. If it is a pre-release the tag will have the format "v<x.y.z>-build.<number>+sha.<source sha>", e.g., "v0.3.0-build.25+sha.f52cbe6". If it is a release the tag will only contain the version, e.g., "v0.3.0". The build number is read from the environment variable BUILD_NUMBER or set to beta otherwise. When doing a release the source repository will be tagged with the release version and the version specified in bower.json and package.json will be bumped.
• A version.json file is created as part of the distribution files containing the same version tag as well as a .version.json in the root of the source project. The latter is useful for a continuous integration system, such as Jenkins, to do trigger deployment of the committed distribution files.
• All changes are pushed back to the source and the distribution repositories. Credentials to allow this must be available to Git.

Usage

Pre-release

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

gulp.task('pre-release', function() {
    return gulp.src('target/dist/**/*')
        .pipe(release({
            prefix: 'target/dist',
            release: false,
            debug: false,
            repository: 'https://github.com/langecode/bower-module.git'
        }));
});

The given prefix will be removed before files are copied to the distribution repository.

Release

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

gulp.task('release', function() {
    return gulp.src('target/dist/**/*')
        .pipe(release({
            prefix: 'target/dist',
            release: true,
            debug: false,
            repository: 'https://github.com/langecode/bower-module.git'
        }));
});

Setting the release flag to true causes the plugin to tag the source repository and bump the patch version of the bower.json and package.json files in the source repository. If the repository contains additional package files that needs version bumping, these can be specified with the additionalPackageFiles option. Note that the version on additional package files will be based on the root package version.

If you do not want to bump the patch version, you can set the bumpVersion flag to false:

        .pipe(release({
            prefix: 'target/dist',
            release: true,
            debug: false,
            additionalPackageFiles: ['src/package.json'],
            repository: 'https://github.com/langecode/bower-module.git',
            bumpVersion: false
        }));

This is useful if your project calls the plugin more than once, e.g. because you are releasing both a Bower component and an application.

If bumpVersion is not specified, it will default to false for pre-releases and true for releases.

If debug is not specified, it will default to false for both pre-releases and for releases. By settings debug to true, stdout from git cmd calls will be printed to the console.

The plugin also support publishing to a npm registry when releasing a new version. Specify the npm.registry and whether to publish.

        .pipe(release({
            prefix: 'target/dist',
            release: true,
            additionalPackageFiles: ['src/package.json'],
            npm: {
                registry: 'https://registry.npmjs.org',
                publish: true
            },
            repository: 'https://github.com/user/bower-module.git',
        }));

If npm.registry is not specified, the local .npmrc configuration will be used instead.
