🔀 provider-git

The git provider for go-semantic-release.

This plugin will make sure that the continuous integration environment conditions are met. Namely that the release is happening on the correct branch.

Usage

To use this plugin you need to include the following block in your .semrelrc file.

{
    "plugins": {
        "provider": {
            "name": "git",
            // Options can be omitted if you want to use the defaults.
            // See the section on configuration below.
            "options": {

            }
        }
    }

Authentication

Automatic

If you don't pick a specific authentication mechanism then an authentication mechanism will be picked based on the URL of the Git remote. Under the covers go-git is responsible for determining how to perform this kind of authentication.

Basic

Basic authentication uses a username and password pair to perform authentication over HTTP/HTTPS.

For this method you'll need to set auth_username and auth_password.

SSH

SSH authentication uses an SSH private key to authenticate with the Git remote ove ran SSH connection.

For this method you'll need to set auth_username and auth_private_key. If your private key uses a password then you'll also need to set auth_password.

Log Order Options

log_order=dfs (Default) - Ordering by depth-first search in pre-order

log_order=dfs_post - Ordering by depth-first search in post-order (useful to traverse history in chronological order)

log_order=bfs - Ordering by breadth-first search

log_order=ctime - Ordering by committer time (more compatible with git log)
