maven-release-script's Introduction

maven-release-script

This script provides similar functionality to the Maven release script, but works nicely with git.

The script asks you for the version numbers if they are not provided and then:

builds the project with the "clean verify" target to make sure that tests pass
replaces the old dev version (most likely the snapshot version) with the release version (most likely the dev version without the -snapshot)
commits the release version
tags the commit with v${release version}
either -- release branch does not exist --- creates the release branch --- pushes current master with the commit to the server -- release branch does exist --- pulls the latest version from the repo --- rebases the master onto the release branch
updates the version to the next development version (most likely the old dev version +1 minor and -snapshot)
pushes changes and tags

As the script is supposed to be checked in along with your code it has a -u parameter that updates the script with the latest version from github.

This is forked from the repo: petergeneric/maven-release-script

Usage

Usage:
  release.sh [-a | [ -r RELEASE_VERSION ] [ -n NEXT_DEV_VERSION ] ]  [ -c ASSUMED_POM_VERSION ] [ -s ] [-i]
Updates release version, then builds and commits it

  -a    Shorthand for -a auto -n auto
  -r    Sets the release version number to use ('auto' to use the version in pom.xml)
  -n    Sets the next development version number to use (or 'auto' to increment release version)
  -c    Assume this as pom.xml version without inspecting it with xmllint
  -i    Ignore untracked git files

  -u    update the script from github
  -h    For this message
