Coverage Status CircleCI CircleCI Orb Version

CircleCI Orb to create releases on GitHub based on tags

Usage

Environment variables used for default parameters:

  • GITHUB_TOKEN
  • CIRCLE_TAG (set by default in CircleCI when build is triggered by a tag push)
  • CIRCLE_PROJECT_USERNAME (set by default in CircleCI)
  • CIRCLE_PROJECT_REPONAME (set by default in CircleCI)

Assuming an environment with all the required variables, usage consists of simply calling the create-release job or command:

version: 2.1

orbs:
  gh-release: escaletech/[email protected]

workflows:
  version: 2
  release:
    jobs:
      # ... more jobs
      - gh-release/create-release:
          context: context-with-github-token-env-var

But you can always specify parameters individually:

version: 2.1

orbs:
  gh-release: escaletech/[email protected]

workflows:
  version: 2
  release:
    jobs:
      # ... more jobs
      - gh-release/create-release:
          github-token: ABCXYZ457 # default is $GITHUB_TOKEN
          target-tag: v0.1.2 # default is $CIRCLE_TAG
          repo-owner: your-username # default is $CIRCLE_PROJECT_USERNAME
          repo-name: your-repo-name # default is $CIRCLE_PROJECT_REPONAME

This will result in a GitHub release like the following:

Other CIs

This app may run on other CI software, not only on CircleCI. You need to provide the same variables as you do on CircleCI.

Github Actions

name: New Release

on:
  push:
    tags:
      - "v*"

jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Setup Node

          TARGET_TAG="${GITHUB_REF#refs/*/}" \
          REPO_OWNER="${GITHUB_REPOSITORY%/*}" \
          REPO_NAME="${GITHUB_REPOSITORY#*/}" \
          CONTINUE_ON_ERROR="false" \
          GITHUB_TOKEN="${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}" \
          circleci-gh-conventional-release
Github Actions with template

  push:
    tags:
      - "v*"

jobs:
  stage:
    uses: escaletech/circleci-gh-conventional-release/.github/workflows/create-release-template.yml@master
    name: "Release"
    secrets:
      gh_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Development

Pull requests are always welcome!

Accepted pull requests to master generates a development orb available as:

orb: escaletech/gh-conventional-release@dev:alpha

In order to publish to production you should generate a new tag.

The convenient and proper way to do it is to run the following command:

npm run release
