Commands

Release new project version and release project's dependents

This also include transitive dependencies, where if A is the project with new version and B is a dependent of A and it is also released, then any dependents of C will also be included.

To run

meta release-version <projectName> [projectVersion]

Use the -h flag to see all options (including dry-run).

Update projects with dependents on a library

This command will bump the version of a specified project / dependency, then look into the meta setup to find for dependent projects. This is useful if the first command fails on some projects, and you have manually fix that particular failing project, and want to continue to it's dependents. For those projects that were already in your release path, ensure that you select "i" to include them or the transitive dependency will not be included in release.
