Question: about alternatives you considered
Closed this issue · 6 comments
I found https://github.com/go-semantic-release/semantic-release
And this project seems pretty complete and advanced. Were you aware of it? Did it inspire you?
I was not aware of this project. It states that it's a Go version of the semantic-release project written in JS.
This project (go-semver-release) tries to focus on versionning only (no package publishing, change log generation etc.) with as little dependencies as possible for security and perf. reasons.
While these projects offer more features, I believe they also bring a small overhead when people sometimes simply want a semantic version number and a Git tag to start versionning their projects, which is why I started building this project.
I think you should copy paste this in your README
I often find interesting when I read such things in the readme.
It gives context and reply question such like mine: how is this project from the others I know
I agree, will do as soon as possible !
You could also explain how you project is not related to https://github.com/coreos/go-semver and how it differs
People might be confused with project name proximity.
