We created release as alternative to maven-release-plugin for git based projects.
It does the job much faster and with less commits. It also helps us to create
branches, tags, standardize commit-messages and pom.xml modifications with and without Gerrit.
It also checks your pom.xml for problems and suggests hints to fix them.
- no -SNAPSHOTS in releases
- matching release major versions of ishop-core
- create branches
- modify GAV (GroupId ArtifactId Version)
- suggest rebase
- smart suggest of next/current version
- handle local changes
- support different shell variants (gitbash, cygwin, linux, ...)
- ...
- release from master/feature/detached HEAD/...
This projects contains an executable called release. To use it, checkout this
project and execute it in your project.
e.g.
cd the/project
${HOME}/git/release/release
This assumes you checked out "release" in ${HOME}/git. It is also possible
to add release to your PATH and call it without an absolute path.
cd the/project
release
If you want to learn other options of release try release --help.
The default config is located in ${HOME}/.ishop-release. ${HOME} should be equal with
System.getProperty("user.home"); to check this see release --help where the path to your home directory is shown.
The config file looks like the following:
ishop-release.gerrit.hostname=your-gerrit.example.org

ishop-release.gerrit.port=29418
ishop-release.jenkins.base=https://your-jenkins.example.org
ishop-release.branch.prefix=your-branch-prefix
ishop-release.release.prefix=your-release-prefix
ishop-release.gerrit.url=https://your-gerrit.example.org/
