Trigger a release-please PR for a specific version.

Usage

/release-please <version>

Examples

/release-please 2.3.0
/release-please 3.0.0

Instructions

When this skill is invoked with a version argument:

1. •

   Validate the version format: Ensure the version follows semantic versioning (X.Y.Z format)

2. •

   Create a new branch: Create a branch named chore/trigger-release-<version>

   bash

   git switch -c chore/trigger-release-<version>
   

3. •

   Create an empty commit with Release-As trailer: The commit message must include the Release-As: <version> trailer to trigger release-please

   bash

   git commit --allow-empty -m "chore: trigger release <version>
   
   Release-As: <version>"
   

4. •

   Push the branch and create a PR:

   bash

   git push -u origin chore/trigger-release-<version>
   gh pr create --title "chore: trigger release <version>" --body "Trigger release-please to create version <version>."
   

5. •

   Report the PR URL to the user

Notes

• •The Release-As trailer in the commit message tells release-please to use that specific version
• •Once the PR is merged to main, release-please will automatically create a release PR with the specified version
• •The release PR will update CHANGELOG.md, version files, and create a GitHub release when merged
