🚢 github-release-cli

Github release CLI is a tool primarily created to circumvent the Travis issue that doesn't allow complex bodies to be used in releases.

🔧 Usage

The github-travis-releaser takes enviroment variables from travis and parses them so that you don't have to.

The only variables you need to take into concideration are:

Name	Optional	Description
GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN	NO	The oath token from github, needed to get the access to create the release
BODY	YES	The body of the release, can be markdown. It's recomended to use $(envsubst < ./CHANGELOG.md) or $(cat ./CHANGELOG.md) for longer bodies
FILES	YES	The path to the file(s) that should be uploaded. Wildcards can be used (e.g. release-files/*)
RELEASE_NAME	YES	The name (title) of the release. If nothing is set, it will be the same as the tag name

Command line flags:

Name	Description
-draft	Set the release as a draft
-prerelease	Set if the the release is identified as non-production ready
-verbose	Print logging statements
