Rf-release NPM

rf-release

Tag, push, changelog, and publish your repositories with one command.

Installation

npm install rf-release
# or
npm install rf-release -g

Usage

BEFORE YOUR FIRST RUN

There are a couple gotchas I haven't spent time to smooth over. Before your first run:

Ensure you have a semver style git tag in the past, otherwise the changelog script will fail.
```
git checkout <some old commit>
git tag v0.0.0
git checkout master
```
Make sure you've committed a blank CHANGELOG.md to git. The code that creates the release commit uses git commit -am so if CHANGELOG.md is a new file, it won't be included in the commit.
```
touch CHANGELOG.md
git add CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m 'added changelog because ryan is lazy'
```

Okay, now you're ready:

# if `node_modules/.bin` is in your path
# or you installed globally:
$ release

# otherwise
$ node_modules/.bin/release

What it does

prompts you for the new version
updates package.json and bower.json (if they exist)
commits the version updates with a simple commit message ("release {version}")
creates the tag "v{version}"
generates a changelog with rf-changelog
pushes master and the new tag to origin
publishes to npm

But I have a build step before I can tag and publish!

That's fine, just do your build first w/o committing, then run release. It'll all go in the same commit. For example, react-router's release script does this.
