gitea-release

A small command line tool to automate releases for Gitea repositories that reads from CHANGELOG and VERSION files. This is a clone of github-release, but more suited for my individual needs. This may also turn into a generic webhook handler, but one thing at a time. :)

Installation

With Nix

$ nix-env -if https://tulpa.dev/cadey/gitea-release/archive/master.tar.gz

With cargo

$ cargo install --git https://tulpa.dev/cadey/gitea-release.git

Drone Plugin

To use this as a drone plugin, add the following to your .drone.yml:

- name: auto-release
  image: xena/gitea-release:0.2.6
  settings:
    auth_username: cadey
    changelog_path: ./CHANGELOG.md
    gitea_server: https://tulpa.dev
    gitea_token:
      from_secret: GITEA_TOKEN
  when:
    event:
      - push
    branch:
      - master

Replace the values of the settings as makes sense for your gitea server. The changelog_path attribute is optional, and will be ./CHANGELOG.md by default.

CHANGELOG.md and VERSION files

The CHANGELOG.md file is based on the Keep a Changelog format, but modified slightly to make it easier for this tool. Here is an example changelog that this tool accepts:

# Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

## 0.1.0

Hi there this is a test!

### ADDED

- something

The VERSION file plays into this as well. The VERSION file MUST be a single line containing a semantic version string. When this tool is run with the release subcommand, the following actions take place:

The VERSION file is read and loaded as the desired tag for the repo
The CHANGELOG.md file is read and the changes for the VERSION are cherry-picked out of the file
The git repo is checked to see if that tag already exists
- If the tag exists, the tool exits and does nothing
If the tag does not exist, it is created (with the changelog fragment as the body of the tag) and pushed to the gitea server
A gitea release is created using the changelog fragment and the release name is generated from the VERSION string
