Autocrate simplifies the creation and maintenance of releases for your Rust
|
|
projects hosted on Gitea servers. By providing essential functionalities
|
|
like uploading artifacts, publishing crates, and managing changelogs,
|
|
Autocrate streamlines the release process, allowing developers to focus on
|
|
their work. Although initially built for Gitea, we plan to extend support
|
|
for additional platforms such as GitHub and GitLab.

## Features
|
|
|
|
* Create and update releases on your Gitea server
|
|
* Publish crates to Cargo.rs
|
|
or other repositories directly from your Rust projects
|
|
* Upload artifacts, including documentation and binaries, alongside your releases
|
|
* Generate and maintain changelogs and release notes.
|
|
|
|
### Upcoming Features
|
|
|
|
My goal is to continuously enhance Autocrate to better serve the developer
|
|
community. Some planned improvements include supporting other popular hosting
|
|
platforms, enabling even greater flexibility and convenience.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Before getting started with Autocrate, make sure you have the necessary
|
|
prerequisites covered:
|
|
|
|
* **A Rust Environment**: Install the latest stable Rust compiler and
|
|
associated tools via the official website: <https://www.rust-lang.org/>
|
|
* **Access to a Gitea Server** (such as [git.cscherr.de](https://git.cscherr.de)
|
|
and [codeberg.org](https://codeberg.org) (strictly speaking, uses a Gitea fork)
|
|
|
|
### Installing
|
|
|
|
Once the above pre-requisites are met, begin setting up Autocrate by running
|
|
the following command in your terminal:
|
|
|
|
``` $ cargo install autocrate ```
|
|
|
|
This command downloads from [crates.io](https://crates.io) and compiles Autocrate
|
|
locally, making it readily accessible through your command line interfaces.
|
|
|
|
### Configuring Autocrate
|
|
|
|
Create a TOML file named `.autocrate.yaml` in the root of your Git repository.
|
|
It should contain the following parameters (replace the placeholders):
|
|
|
|
| Parent | Key | Value | Explanation |
|
|
|---------|--------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| (root) | `git-log` | `true`/`false` | should a changelog be generated with `git log`? |
|
|
| (root) | `uses` | keys with this as parent (f.e. `cargo` | Marks features to be used by Autocrate |
|
|
| `uses` | `cargo` | tells us that your project uses cargo | tells us that your project uses cargo |
|
|
| `cargo` | `publish` | `true`/`false` | should we publish crates? |
|
|
| `cargo` | `registries` | registries see [this](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/registries.html) | A list of registries we should publish to. If empty defaults to `crates.io`. |
