Modular Release Pipelines

When to Use This Skill

This guide covers implementing release automation with:

• Release-please for version bumping and changelog generation
• GitHub App authentication for proper workflow triggering
• Change detection to skip unnecessary builds
• Cascade rebuilds when shared dependencies change

Prerequisites

Before implementing release pipelines, set up a GitHub App for your organization:

• GitHub App Setup - Create and configure the App
• Token Generation - Generate tokens in workflows

Implementation

1. Set up GitHub App for your organization
2. Configure release-please with App token
3. Set up change detection for your components
4. Handle protected branches if applicable

Examples

See examples.md for code examples.
