This is a release engineering tool for GitHub. It depends on GitHub APIs and works without git installation.
It provides the following features:
- Commit files to a repository
- Create an empty commit
- Fork a repository and commit files to the forked repository
- Create a pull request
- Upload files to GitHub Releases
You can install the latest release from GitHub Releases or Homebrew.
# GitHub Releases
curl -fL -o /tmp/ghcp.zip https://github.com/int128/ghcp/releases/download/v1.8.0/ghcp_linux_amd64.zip
unzip /tmp/ghcp.zip -d ~/bin
# Homebrew
brew install int128/ghcp/ghcp
You need to get a personal access token from the settings and set it to GITHUB_TOKEN
environment variable or --token
option.
To commit files to the default branch:
ghcp commit -r OWNER/REPO -m MESSAGE file1 file2
To commit files to feature
branch:
ghcp commit -r OWNER/REPO -b feature -m MESSAGE file1 file2
If feature
branch does not exist, ghcp will create it from the default branch.
To create feature
branch from develop
branch:
ghcp commit -r OWNER/REPO -b feature --parent=develop -m MESSAGE file1 file2
If feature
branch already exists, ghcp will fail.
Currently only fast-forward is supported.
ghcp performs a commit operation as follows:
- An author and committer of a commit are set to the login user (depending on the token).
- If the branch has same files, do not create a new commit. It prevents an empty commit.
- It excludes
.git
directories. - It does not support
.gitconfig
.
You can set the following options.
Flags:
--author-email string Author email (default: login email)
--author-name string Author name (default: login name)
-b, --branch string Name of the branch to create or update (default: the default branch of repository)
--committer-email string Committer email (default: login email)
--committer-name string Committer name (default: login name)
--dry-run Upload files but do not update the branch actually
-h, --help help for commit
-m, --message string Commit message (mandatory)
--no-file-mode Ignore executable bit of file and treat as 0644
--no-parent Create a commit without a parent
-u, --owner string Repository owner
--parent string Create a commit from the parent branch/tag (default: fast-forward)
-r, --repo string Repository name, either -r OWNER/REPO or -u OWNER -r REPO (mandatory)
To create an empty commit to the default branch:
ghcp empty-commit -r OWNER/REPO -m MESSAGE
To create an empty commit to the branch:
ghcp empty-commit -r OWNER/REPO -b BRANCH -m MESSAGE
If the branch does not exist, ghcp creates a branch from the default branch. It the branch exists, ghcp updates the branch by fast-forward.
To create an empty commit to a new branch from the parent branch:
ghcp empty-commit -r OWNER/REPO -b BRANCH --parent PARENT -m MESSAGE
If the branch exists, it will fail.
You can set the following options.
Flags:
--author-email string Author email (default: login email)
--author-name string Author name (default: login name)
-b, --branch string Name of the branch to create or update (default: the default branch of repository)

-u, --owner string Repository owner
--parent string Create a commit from the parent branch/tag (default: fast-forward)
-r, --repo string Repository name, either -r OWNER/REPO or -u OWNER -r REPO (mandatory)
To fork repository UPSTREAM/REPO
and create feature
branch from the default branch:
ghcp fork-commit -u UPSTREAM/REPO -b feature -m MESSAGE file1 file2
To fork repository UPSTREAM/REPO
and create feature
branch from develop
branch of the upstream:
ghcp fork-commit -u UPSTREAM/REPO -b feature --parent develop -m MESSAGE file1 file2
If the branch already exists, ghcp will fail. Currently only fast-forward is supported.

branch of OWNER/REPO
repository to the default branch of UPSTREAM/REPO

To upload files to the release associated to tag v1.0.0

To create a tag and release on commit COMMIT_SHA
and upload files to the release:

You can set a GitHub API v3 URL by GITHUB_API
environment variable or --api
option.
export GITHUB_API=https://github.example.com/api/v3/
