KuboReleaser

KuboReleaser is a CLI tool intended to help with the automation of the release process of Kubo.

It was originally started here - https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/pull/9493 - and is now being extracted into its own repo.

Prerequisites

• docker installed
• GitHub token creted with the following scopes
  • ...
• GitHub GPG key created and added to the GitHub account
• Matrix account created and added to the Kubo room

Usage

1. Build the binary

make kuboreleaser

2. Create the .env file with your credentials

NOTE: You can skip this step if you want to be prompted for the credentials instead.

make env

3. Run the CLI

./kuboreleaser --help

Other

You can skip GPG setup by exporting NO_GPG=true in your environment. If you do that, you won't be able to sign the release tag.

You can skip Matrix setup by exporting NO_MATRIX=true in your environment. If you do that, you will have to confirm promotional posts were posted to Matrix manually.

TODO

• enable auto-merge on created PRs
• assign reviewers to the created PRs
• check how git-go performs fetch (does it use protocol.version 2?)
• add a --dry-run flag
• link to the release issue in the PRs
• allow to specify args via env vars
• remove one level of nesting from the CLI
• document how to use kuboreleaser in the README
