Releasing with GitHub Actions and pull requests

New releases of this project are created via a GitHub Actions workflow using datalad/release-action, which was inspired by auto. Whenever a pull request is merged into main that has the "release" label, the workflow updates the changelog based on the pull requests since the previous release, commits the results, tags the new commit with the next version number, creates a GitHub release for the tag, builds an sdist & wheel for the project, and uploads the sdist & wheel to PyPI.

CHANGELOG entries and labelling pull requests

This project uses scriv to maintain the CHANGELOG.md file. Adding the label CHANGELOG-missing to a PR triggers a workflow to add a new scriv changelog fragment under changelog.d/ using the PR title as the content. That produced changelog snippet can subsequently be tuned to improve the prospective CHANGELOG entry. The changelog section that the fragment is added under depends on the semver- label added to the PR:

  • semver-minor — for changes corresponding to an increase in the minor version component
  • semver-patch — for changes corresponding to an increase in the patch/micro version component
  • semver-internal — for changes only affecting the internal API
  • semver-documentation — for changes only affecting the documentation
  • semver-tests — for changes to tests
  • semver-dependencies — for updates to dependency versions
  • semver-performance — for performance improvements
