Config

There is only one configuration now: the token in GitHub. The token can be created from https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?description=Maintainer%20CLI%20token, you only need "repo" scope for private repositories.

It is used in changelog subcommand, so there are three ways to config the token:

Features Preview

Generate CHANGELOG.md

changelog subcommand will generate CHANGELOG.md for your repository, it is supported via github_changelog_generator, so you need to install it before the subcommand is called.

See here about how to install github_changelog_generator. In the future, maintainer will support install this dependency automatically.

See CHANGELOG.md as an example.

Generate CONTRIBUTING.md

contributing subcommand will generate CONTRIBUTING.md for your repository, now this file is a general version.

In the future, maintainer will detect languages and generate corresponding documentation about programming language specific flow for contribution.

See CONTRIBUTING.md as an example.

Generate AUTHORS.md

contributor subcommand will generate AUTHORS just like moby/moby does. It gives the contributors more passion to contribute.

See AUTHORS.md as an example.

Generate Personal Daily Report or Summary

user daily and user summary subcommands will generate daily report or summary for the given user.

maintainer user --username gaocegege daily
maintainer user --username gaocegege summary --begin 2019-05-20 --end 2019-05-22

See daily.md or summary.md as an example.

Please notice that GitHub only shows the first 300 events for one user which is a core limitation for this feature.

Generate README.md related text

readme subcommand contains some subcommands:

Recommend badges for you (Soon)

People :heart: badges. badge subcommand will recommend badges for you based on which languages the repository is written in.

Development

Run from source code

go run main.go <subcommand>

Build Docker image

Maintainer requires two steps to build a Docker image.

  1. scripts/build-for-alphine.sh builds maintainer in a Docker container which from golang:1.8-alpine. It mounts maintainer directory into the container so the maintainer built from code will visiable in host.
  2. docker build -t maintainer . builds real image from Dockerfile. It simply copys binary maintainer into the image and install some dependencies such as git and github_changelog_generator.

This way is inspired by caicloud/cyclone. It could reduce the size of image significantly.
