Forgejo actions are a near drop-in replacement for GitHub actions. This commit changes the action.yml file to make the forge configurable. This allows using the action with forgejo instances. Changes made: - Introduce a `forge` input and pass it as the value of the `--forge` flag. - Introduce `api-url` input and pass it as the value of the `--api-url` flag. This is required to configure the API URL of the forge. If the action is used with GitHub Actions it is simply ignored. - Pass `inputs.token` as value to the `--api-token` flag. This is required as the forgejo client does not respect the `GITHUB_ACTION` environment variable. - Introduce `owner` input and pass it as the value of the `--owner` flag. As this was not passed before the default is set to `""`. In theory it could be set to the value of `github.repository_owner`. - Introduce `user` input and pass it as the value of the `--user` flag. As this was not passed before the default is set to `""`. GitHub Actions does not seem to provide a convenient way to get the repository without the owner. As such keeping it at `""` for the default is safest. |

releaser-pleaser
releaser-pleaser is a tool designed to automate versioning and changelog management for your projects. Building on the concepts of release-please, it streamlines the release process through GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.
Features
- Automated Pull Requests: Opens a PR when releasable changes are detected.
- Smart Versioning: Suggests new versions based on conventional commits and semantic versioning.
- Version Reference Updates: Automatically updates committed version references in the PR.
- Changelog Generation: Creates new changelog entries based on commits.
- Automated Releases: Upon PR merge, creates tags and GitHub/GitLab Releases with appropriate messages.
- Version Overrides: Allows manual override of the suggested version.
- Prerelease Support: Offers options to create alpha, beta, or release candidate versions.
releaser-pleaser simplifies release management, allowing maintainers to focus on development while ensuring consistent and well-documented releases.
Relation to release-please
After using
release-please for 1.5 years, I've found it to be the best tool for low-effort releases currently available. While I appreciate many of its features, I identified several additional capabilities that would significantly enhance my workflow. Although it might be possible to incorporate these features into
release-please, I decided to channel my efforts into creating a new tool that specifically addresses my needs.
Key differences in releaser-pleaser include:
- Support for multiple forges (both GitHub and GitLab)
- Better support for pre-releases
One notable limitation of
release-please is its deep integration with the GitHub API, making the addition of support for other platforms (like GitLab) a substantial undertaking.
releaser-pleaser aims to overcome this limitation by design, offering a more versatile solution for automated release management across different platforms and project requirements.
