What does 'bit release' do?

jyn514 commented 4 years ago

'Generate a production release' doesn't say very much. Here is the output from running bit release offline:

$ bit release
Error: accepts 1 arg(s), received 0
$ bit release a

If bit is going to perform arbitrary git operations, I'd like to at least know what they are.

Examples for until the docs are updated

Usage: bit release bump: this command commits any changes (except untracked), bumps the minor tag the branch according to SemVer e.g. v0.1.2 -> v0.1.3) and pushes

Usage 2: bit release v0.6.0 -> this would do the same as above except the tag would be v0.6.0.

Does it also push tags?

chriswalz commented 4 years ago

yep both the commit and tags

Hi, as I didn't find any other place to reach you out, I would like to ask you if for this issue it needs to have more details in the short description in the cmd package or is something else. Also, as I didn't find documentation about how to contribute, I would like to know how to build the binary on my machine (go run main.go or something else?) to see the changes. Thank you :)

@SolKuczala clone the repo & run go run main.go. I'm personally using go 1.15 but it should be fine with prior versions.

I'll try to get around to writing a contributing doc. Please let me know if you have any additional questions
