Release Minor

Release Minor Version

This skill automates the process of tagging a new minor release for Scribe.

Workflow

1. Analyze Commits & Build Changelog:

   • First, update the local repo from remote (including any tags) using git pull --all.
   • Identify the last release tag (e.g., using git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -n 1).
   • Get all commits from the last tag to HEAD.
   • Analyze commit messages to categorize them into "Added", "Modified", "Fixed", or "Removed".
   • Draft a new section for CHANGELOG.md following the existing format:

     ## <New Version> (<Date>)
     ### Added
     - [Description] ([#PR](link))
     
     ### Modified
     - ...
     

2. Update Files:

   • Prepend the new section to the top of the release list in CHANGELOG.md.
   • Update the public const VERSION in src/Scribe.php to the new version number.

3. Commit and Push:

   • Stage CHANGELOG.md and src/Scribe.php.
   • Commit with the message: Bump version to <New Version>.
   • Push the changes to the remote repository.

4. Create GitHub Release:

   • Wait for the latest pushed commit to pass CI. Use the gh CLI to check its status periodically. If it does not pass, abort. DO NOT continue the rest of the flow.
   • Use the gh CLI to create a new release.
   • Command: gh release create <New Version> --title "<New Version>" --notes "<Changelog Content>"
   • Ensure the notes correspond exactly to the added changelog section.
