publish-dist

Build Status

Publish dist

A CLI tool that commits and pushes dist if the last commit was not made by itself. Intended to be used as part of semantic-release.

Example package.json:

{
  "name": "my-app",
  "scripts": {
    "build": "make",
    "publish-dist": "npm run build && publish-dist",
    "semantic-release": "semantic-release pre && npm run publish-dist && npm publish && semantic-release post"
  },
  "repository": {
    "url": "https://github.com/me/my-app"
  },
  "author": "Tom Vincent <[email protected]>"
}

Usage

At minimum, publish-dist expects:

  • dist to exist before it is ran
  • The environment variable CI_USER_TOKEN to be set
  • To be using the master branch

With semantic-release

Want semantic-release to build and commit dist? Here's one approach:

  1. Initialise semantic-release with your repo as normal
  2. Generate a new GitHub access token (only repo/public_repo scope is required)
  3. Run travis env set CI_USER_TOKEN [token]
  4. Add a npm build script that's suitable for your project
  5. Add publish-dist as a dev dependency
  6. Add it as an npm deploy script
  7. Add a predeploy script that runs the npm build script
  8. Call npm run deploy after semantic-release pre

That's it!

See tlvince/tlvince-semantic-release-push-dist as a working example.

Pro tip: create a machine/bot account on GitHub (generate a access token for this account) and add it as a collaborator (with push access) to your repo. Don't forget to pass --author-name and --author-email.

Options

--author-name

The commit's author name (git config user.name). Defaults to .package.json author.

--author-email

The commit's author email (git config user.email). Defaults to .package.json author.
