Figure out a good way to do releases. about twitch_api

[Emilgardis]

I think this can be considered solved with the current setup, releases are as simple as

1. cargo release ...
2. make a pr
3. merge
4. ci publishes

an improvement that could be made is to only have to do a version bump and let ci do cargo release <version> --execute but I think this is good enough

github actions has a release event I could use I think, sounds promising

It's a tiny bit outdated, but like this you can use Github actions to release something. but here for example is the corresponding action:
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/upload-files-to-a-github-release

As a trigger you can use a branch called releases where the commits get pushed to:
https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#onpushpull_requestbranchestags

Or you can read this one about triggering workflows:

I think this suggests I do need to split this repo into two, I could do that quite easily but maintenance would be really annoying. Although I don't think twitch_oauth2 will change much once I've stabilized the interface a bit more, so maybe it's fine to split it off.

[Emilgardis]

I've split off the oauth2 crate into https://github.com/Emilgardis/twitch_oauth2 . Still some work left to seperate it from this crate but don't have the time yet

[simonsan]

You could try cargo release with a release.toml in $crate-root.

@simonsan thanks for the suggestion, but I already use cargo-release ;). think I could add it to a CI workflow that triggers on something. For me the problem is what should trigger that workflow.

I definitely need to start using keep-a-changelog also to profit more from cargo-release

Are there any examples of using cargo-release in CI available?

I found also a nice CLI tool written in rust to make the changelog situation a bit easier:
