cargo release

Performs release best-practices, including:

1. Ensure the git working directory is clean.
2. Bump the version in Cargo.toml
3. Create a git tag for this version
4. Run cargo publish (if not disabled)
5. Bump version for next development cycle
6. git push

Features for workspaces include:

• Report which crates might be able to be skipped
• Update version ranges in dependent crates
• Optionally using a single commit for all version bumps

Install

Current release: 0.13.0

cargo install cargo-release

Usage

cargo release [level]

• See the reference for more on level, other CLI arguments, and configuration file format.
• See also the FAQ for help in figuring out how to adapt cargo-release to your workflow.

Prerequisite

• Your project should be managed by git.

Dry run

We recommend calling cargo release --dry-run with your custom options before actually executing it. The dry-run mode will print all commands to execute during the release process. And you will get an overview of what's going on.

Here is an example.

 $ cargo release --dry-run
cd .
git commit -S -am (cargo-release) version 0.18.3
cd -
cargo publish
Building and exporting docs.
cargo doc --no-deps
cd target/doc/
git init
cd -
cd target/doc/
git add .
cd -
cd target/doc/
git commit -S -am (cargo-release) generate docs
cd -
cd target/doc/
git push -f git@github.com:sunng87/handlebars-rust.git master:gh-pages
cd -
git tag -a 0.18.3 -m (cargo-release)  version 0.18.3 -s
Starting next development iteration 0.18.4-pre
cd .
git commit -S -am (cargo-release) start next development iteration 0.18.4-pre

git push origin --follow-tags
