# ShipIt.js

A release management tool for NPM packages.

## Installation

Install latest version directly from NPM repository:

npm install shipitjs

or, clone and install from local copy (if you plan on hacking on it):

git clone git://github.com/hideo55/node-shipitjs.git
    npm install ./shipitjs

## Usage

Usage: shipitjs [options] [command]

Commands:

Options:

-h, --help     output usage information
      -V, --version  output the version number
      -x, --exec     Actually run commands (defaults to dry-run)

The `release` command is, by default, run in *dry-run* mode; so, it is easy and
safe to confirm what will happen.  You must specify the `-x` (or `--exec`)
option explicitly in order to actually execute the steps.

## Semantic Versioning

[Semantic Versioning][semver] is used for version numbers.  See the [the
spec][semver] for more detailed information.

Basically, version numbers follow these formats:

*  `major "." minor "." patch`
 *  `major "." minor "." patch "-" build`

For example, `0.0.1` and `0.0.1-1` are valid version numbers; however, `x0r3` is
not.

If, say, the current version number is `0.0.1`, then the next version numbers
would be:

*  `1.0.0` for a *major* version bump
 *  `0.1.0` for a *minor* version bump
 *  `0.0.2` for a *patch* version bump
 *  `0.0.2-0` for a *prepatch* version bump

[semver]: http://semver.org/

## Configuration

The config file is named `.shipit.json`.  A default config file can be generated
with the `init` command:

$ cd /path/to/module
    $ shipitjs init

An example config file:

```json
{
  "steps": ["FindVersion", "ChangeVersion", "CheckChangeLog", "Commit", "Tag", "Publish"],
  "CheckChangeLog": {
    "files": ["History.md"]
  }
}
```

## Steps

### FindVersion

Attempts to infer the current version number from VCS tag.  If that fails, then
the version number in `package.json` (or `package.ls`) is used.  The next
version number is then calculated (according to Semantic Versioning) and the
user is prompted for confirmation.

#### Config

None.

### ChangeVersion

Changes the version number specified in `package.json` (or `package.ls`).  It
attempts also to update `exports.version` if a *main* script has been defined.

#### Config

##### file (String)

If you manage your `package.json` with LiveScript, then specify `package.ls`.
`npm run prepublish` will be executed for you automatically.

**NOTE:** You must also specify a truthy value for the global `usePackageLS`.

```json
{
  "usePackageLS": true,
  "ChangeVersion": {
    "file": "package.ls"
  }
}
```

### CheckChangeLog

Checks changelog(s) for entries for the new version number.  Provides option to
edit changelog (using the current user's `$EDITOR`, defaults to `vim`) if no
entry was found.

#### Config

##### files (Array)

An array of changelog filenames to check.

```json
{
  "CheckChangeLog": {
    "files": ["History.md"]
  }
}
```

### Commit

Commits all local changes.

#### Config

##### message (String)

Template for commit message.

```json
{
  "Commit": {
    "message": "Checking in changes prior to tagging version \"{{version}}\".\n\nChangelog diff:\n\n{{changelogDiff}}"
  }
}
```

### Tag

Makes a tag for the new version.

#### Config

##### message (String)

Template for tag message.

```json
{
  "Tag": {
    "message": "Tagging version \"{{version}}\" using shipitjs."
  }
}
```

### Publish

Publishes module to the NPM registry, asking first for user confirmation.

#### Config

None.

## Version Control Systems

Currently Git and Mercurial are the only VCS supported.

### Git

An example git configuration:

```json
{
  "vc": {
    "Git": {
      "PushTo": "origin",
      "SignTag": true,
      "TagPattern": "version-%v"
    }
  }
}
```

#### PushTo (String)

Where the new version should be pushed.

#### SignTag (Boolean)

Whether tags should be GPG/PGP signed.

#### TagPattern (String)

Custom pattern for tag names (`%v` is replaced by version number).

### Mercurial

An example mercurial configuration:

```json
{
  "vc": {
    "Hg": {
      "PushTo": "remote"
    }
  }
}
```

#### PushTo (String)

Where the new version should be pushed.
