Installation

Binary

craft is distributed as a minified single JS binary.

npm (not recommended)

Recommendation is to used this file directly but one can also install craft as an NPM package and can be installed via yarn or npm:

yarn global add @sentry/craft

npm install -g @sentry/craft

Usage

$ craft -h
craft <command>

Commands:
  craft prepare NEW-VERSION  🚢 Prepare a new release branch
                          [aliases: p, prerelease, prepublish, prepare, release]
  craft publish NEW-VERSION  🛫 Publish artifacts         [aliases: pp, publish]
  craft targets              List defined targets as JSON array
  craft config               Print the parsed, processed, and validated Craft
                             config for the current project in pretty-JSON.
  craft artifacts <command>  📦 Manage artifacts          [aliases: a, artifact]

Options:
  --no-input     Suppresses all user prompts                    [default: false]
  --dry-run      Dry run mode: do not perform any real actions
  --log-level    Logging level
          [choices: "Fatal", "Error", "Warn", "Log", "Info", "Success", "Debug",
                                 "Trace", "Silent", "Verbose"] [default: "Info"]
  -v, --version  Show version number                                   [boolean]
  -h, --help     Show help                                             [boolean]

Version naming conventions

Craft currently supports semantic versioning (semver)-like versions for the NEW-VERSION argument passed to its prepare and publish commands. This means, releases made with craft need to follow a general pattern as follows:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>(-<prerelease>)?(-<build>)?

• The <major>, <minor> and <patch> numbers are required
• The <prerelease> and <build> identifiers are optional

Preview releases (<prerelease>)

Preview or pre-release identifiers must include one of the following identifiers

preview|pre|rc|dev|alpha|beta|unstable|a|b

and may additionally include incremental pre-release version numbers. Adding identifiers other than the ones listed above result in Craft either rejecting the release (if not parse-able) or the release being treated by individual targets as a stable release.

Examples:

1.0.0-preview
1.0.0-alpha.0
1.0.0-beta.1
1.0.0-rc.20
1.0.0-a

// invalid or incorrectly treated
1.0.0-foo
1.0.0-canary.0

Special Case: Python Post Releases

Python has the concept of post releases, which craft handles implicitly. A post release is indicated by a -\d+ suffix to the semver version, for example: 1.0.0-1. Given that we only consider certain identifiers as pre-releases, post releases are considered stable releases.

Build identifiers (<build>)

Craft supports adding a build identifier to your version, for example if you release the same package version for different platforms or architectures. You can also combine build and pre-release identifiers but in this case, the pre-release identifier has to come first.

Examples:

// valid
1.0.0+x86_64
1.0.0-rc.1+x86_64

// invalid or incorrectly treated
1.0.0+rc.1+x86_64
1.0.0+x86_64-beta.0

Caveats

• When interacting with remote GitHub repositories, craft uses the remote origin by default. If you have a different setup, set the CRAFT_REMOTE environment variable or the --remote option to the git remote you are using.

Global Configuration

Global configuration for craft can be done either by using environment variables or by adding values to a configuration file (see below).

All command line flags can be set through environment variables by prefixing them with CRAFT_ and converting them to UPPERCASE_UNDERSCORED versions:

CRAFT_LOG_LEVEL=Debug
CRAFT_DRY_RUN=1
CRAFT_NO_INPUT=0

Since Craft heavily relies on GitHub, it needs the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable to be set to a proper GitHub Personal Access Token for almost anything. The token only needs repo scope (repo:status and public_repo subscopes, to be precise).

Additional environment variables may be required when publishing to specific targets (e.g. TWINE_USERNAME and TWINE_PASSWORD for PyPI target).

Environment Files

craft will read configuration variables (keys, tokens, etc.) from the following locations:

• $HOME/.craft.env
• $PROJECT_DIR/.craft.env
• the shell's environment

where $HOME is the current user's home directory, and $PROJECT_DIR is the directory where .craft.yml is located.

These locations will be checked in the order specified above, with values found in one location overwriting anything found in previous locations. In other words, environment variables will take precedence over either configuration file, and the project-specific file will take precedence over the file in $HOME.

The env files must be written in shell (sh/bash) format. Leading export is allowed.

Example:

# ~/.craft.env
GITHUB_TOKEN=token123
export NUGET_API_TOKEN=abcdefgh

Workflow

craft prepare: Preparing a New Release

This command will create a new release branch, check the changelog entries, run a version-bumping script, and push this branch to GitHub. We expect that CI triggered by pushing this branch will result in release artifacts being built and uploaded to the artifact provider you wish to use during the subsequent publish step.

craft prepare NEW-VERSION

🚢 Prepare a new release branch

Positionals:
  NEW-VERSION  The new version you want to release           [string] [required]

Options:
  --no-input       Suppresses all user prompts                  [default: false]

  -h, --help       Show help                                           [boolean]

craft publish: Publishing the Release

The command will find a release branch for the provided version. The normal flow is for this release branch to be created automatically by craft prepare, but that's not strictly necessary. Then, it subscribes to the latest status checks on that branch. Once the checks pass, it downloads the release artifacts from the artifact provider configured in .craft.yml and uploads them to the targets named on the command line (and pre-configured in .craft.yml).

Example

Let's imagine we want to release a new version of our package, and the version in question is 1.2.3.

We run prepare command first:

$ craft prepare 1.2.3

After some basic sanity checks this command creates a new release branch release/1.2.3, runs the version-bumping script (scripts/bump-version.sh), commits the changes made by the script, and then pushes the new branch to GitHub. At this point CI systems kick in, and the results of those builds, as well as built artifacts (binaries, NPM archives, Python wheels) are gradually uploaded to GitHub.

To publish the built artifacts we run publish:

$ craft publish 1.2.3

This command will find our release branch (release/1.2.3), check the build status of the respective git revision in GitHub, and then publish available artifacts to configured targets (for example, to GitHub and NPM in the case of Craft).

Configuration File: .craft.yml

Project configuration for craft is stored in .craft.yml configuration file, located in the project root.

GitHub project

Craft tries to determine the GitHub repo information from the local git repo and its remotes configuration. However, since publish command does not require a local git checkout, you may want to hard-code this information into the configuration itself:

github:
  owner: getsentry
  repo: sentry-javascript

Pre-release Command

This command will run on your newly created release branch as part of prepare command. By default, it is set to bash scripts/bump-version.sh. Please refer to the Pre-release version bumping script conventions section for more details.

preReleaseCommand: bash scripts/bump-version.sh

Post-release Command

This command will run after a successful publish. By default, it is set to bash scripts/post-release.sh. It will not error if the default script is missing though, as this may not be needed by all projects. Please refer to the Post-release script conventions section for more details.

postReleaseCommand: bash scripts/post-release.sh

Release Branch Name

This overrides the prefix for the release branch name. The full branch name used for a release is {releaseBranchPrefix}/{version}. The prefix defaults to "release".

releaseBranchPrefix: publish

Changelog Policies

craft can help you to maintain change logs for your projects. At the moment, craft supports two approaches: simple, and auto to changelog management.

In simple mode, craft prepare will remind you to add a changelog entry to the changelog file (CHANGELOG.md by default).

In auto mode, craft prepare will use the following logic:

1. If there's already an entry for the given version, use that
2. Else if there is an entry named Unreleased, rename that to the given version
3. Else, create a new section for the version and populate it with the changes since the last version. It uses GitHub Milestones to provide a concise and rich changelog. If the PRs are associated with a milestone, the milestone title and description are used as the changelog entry alongside a brief list of associated PRs. Any individual commits and PRs are listed under the "Various improvements & fixes" section at the bottom. Check out Craft's own releases as example.

Configuration

Example (simple):

changelog: CHANGES
changelogPolicy: simple

Valid changelog example:

## 1.3.5

* Removed something

## 1.3.4

* Added something

Example (auto):

changelog: CHANGES
changelogPolicy: auto

Changelog with staged changes example:

## Unreleased

* Removed something

## 1.3.4

* Added something

Additionally, .craft.yml is used for listing targets where you want to publish your new release.

Minimal Version

It is possible to specify minimal craft version that is required to work with your configuration.

Example:

minVersion: '0.5.0'

Required Files

You can provide a list of patterns for files that have to be available before proceeding with publishing. In other words, for every pattern in the given list there has to be a file present that matches that pattern. This might be helpful to ensure that we're not trying to do an incomplete release.

Example:

requireNames:
  - /^sentry-craft.*\.tgz$/
  - /^gh-pages.zip$/

Status Provider

You can configure which status providers craft will use to check for your build status. By default, it will use GitHub but you can add more providers if needed.

Configuration

Example:

statusProvider:
  name: github
  config:
    contexts:
      - Travis CI - Branch

Artifact Provider

You can configure which artifact providers craft will use to fetch artifacts from. By default, GitHub is used, but in case you don't need use any artifacts in your project, you can set it to none.

Configuration

Example:

artifactProvider:
  name: none

Target Configurations

The configuration specifies which release targets to run for the repository. To run more targets, list the target identifiers under the targets key in .craft.yml.

Example:

targets:
  - name: npm
  - name: github
  - name: registry
    id: browser
    type: sdk
    onlyIfPresent: /^sentry-browser-.*\.tgz$/
    includeNames: /\.js$/
    checksums:
      - algorithm: sha384
        format: base64
    config:
      canonical: 'npm:@sentry/browser'
  - name: registry
    id: node
    type: sdk
    onlyIfPresent: /^sentry-node-.*\.tgz$/
    config:
      canonical: 'npm:@sentry/node'

Per-target options

The following options can be applied to every target individually:

If neither option is included, all artifacts for the release will be processed by the target.

Example:

targets:
  - name: github
    includeNames: /^.*\.exe$/
    excludeNames: /^test.exe$/

GitHub (github)

Create a release on Github. If a Markdown changelog is present in the repository, this target tries to read the release name and description from the changelog. Otherwise, defaults to the tag name and tag's commit message.

If previewReleases is set to true (which is the default), the release created on GitHub will be marked as a pre-release version if the release name contains any one of pre-release identifiers.

Environment

Configuration

Example:

targets:
  - name: github
    tagPrefix: v
    previewReleases: false

NPM (npm)

Releases an NPM package to the public registry. This requires a package tarball generated by npm pack in the artifacts. The file will be uploaded to the registry with npm publish, or with yarn publish if npm is not found. This requires NPM to be authenticated with sufficient permissions to publish the package.

Environment

The npm utility must be installed on the system.

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: npm
    access: public

Python Package Index (pypi)

Uploads source dists and wheels to the Python Package Index via twine. The source code bundles and/or wheels must be in the release assets.

Environment

The twine Python package must be installed on the system.

Configuration

none

Example

targets:
  - name: pypi

Sentry internal PyPI (sentry-pypi)

Creates a GitHub pull request to import the package into a repo set up like getsentry/pypi

Environment

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: pypi
  - name: sentry-pypi
    internalPypiRepo: getsentry/pypi

Homebrew (brew)

Pushes a new or updated homebrew formula to a brew tap repository. The formula is committed directly to the master branch of the tap on GitHub, therefore the bot needs rights to commit to master on that repository. Therefore, formulas on homebrew/core are not supported, yet.

The tap is configured with the mandatory tap parameter in the same format as the brew utility. A tap <org>/<name> will expand to the GitHub repository github.com:<org>/homebrew-<name>.

The formula contents are given as configuration value and can be interpolated with Mustache template syntax ({{ variable }}). The interpolation context contains the following variables:

• version: The new version
• revision: The tag's commit SHA
• checksums: A map containing sha256 checksums for every release asset. Use the full filename to access the sha, e.g. checksums.MyProgram-x86. If the filename contains dots (.), they are being replaced with __. If the filename contains the currently released version, it is replaced with __VERSION__. For example, sentry-wizard-v3.9.3.tgz checksums will be accessible by the key checksums.sentry-wizard-v__VERSION____tgz.

Environment

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: brew
    tap: octocat/tools # Expands to github.com:octocat/homebrew-tools
    formula: myproject # Creates the file myproject.rb
    path: HomebrewFormula # Creates the file in HomebrewFormula/
    template: >
      class MyProject < Formula
        desc "This is a test for homebrew formulae"
        homepage "https://github.com/octocat/my-project"
        url "https://github.com/octocat/my-project/releases/download/{{version}}/binary-darwin"
        version "{{version}}"
        sha256 "{{checksums.binary-darwin}}"

        def install
          mv "binary-darwin", "myproject"
          bin.install "myproject"
        end
      end

NuGet (nuget)

Uploads packages to NuGet via .NET Core. By default, craft publishes all packages with .nupkg extension.

Environment

The dotnet tool must be available on the system.

Configuration

none

Example

targets:
  - name: nuget

Rust Crates (crates)

Publishes a single Rust package or entire workspace on the public crate registry (crates.io). If the workspace contains multiple crates, they are published in an order depending on their dependencies.

Environment

"cargo" must be installed and configured on the system.

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: crates
    noDevDeps: false

Google Cloud Storage (gcs)

Uploads artifacts to a bucket in Google Cloud Storage.

The bucket paths (paths) can be interpolated using Mustache syntax ({{ variable }}). The interpolation context contains the following variables:

• version: The new project version
• revision: The SHA revision of the new version

Environment

Google Cloud credentials can be provided using either of the following two environment variables.

If defined, CRAFT_GCS_TARGET_CREDS_JSON will be preferred over CRAFT_GCS_TARGET_CREDS_PATH.

Note: CRAFT_GCS_TARGET_CREDS_JSON and CRAFT_GCS_TARGET_CREDS_PATH were formerly called CRAFT_GCS_CREDENTIALS_JSON and CRAFT_GCS_CREDENTIALS_PATH, respectively. While those names will continue to work for the foreseeable future, you'll receive a warning encouraging you to switch to the new names.

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: gcs
    bucket: bucket-name
    paths:
      - path: release/{{version}}/download
        metadata:
          cacheControl: `public, max-age=3600`
      - path: release/{{revision}}/platform/package

GitHub Pages (gh-pages)

Extracts an archive with static assets and pushes them to the specified git branch (gh-pages by default). Thus, it can be used to publish documentation or any other assets to GitHub Pages, so they will be later automatically rendered by GitHub.

By default, this target will look for an artifact named gh-pages.zip, extract it, and commit its contents to gh-pages branch.

WARNING! The destination branch will be completely overwritten by the contents of the archive.

Environment

none

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: gh-pages
    branch: gh-pages

Sentry Release Registry (registry)

The target will update the Sentry release registry repo(https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-release-registry/) with the latest version of the project craft is used with. The release registry repository will be checked out locally, and then the new version file will be created there, along with the necessary symbolic links.

Two package types are supported: "sdk" and "app". Type "sdk" means that the package is uploaded to one of the public registries (PyPI, NPM, Nuget, etc.), and that the corresponding package directory can be found inside "packages" directory of the release regsitry. Type "app" indicates that the package's version files are located in "apps" directory of the registry.

It is strongly discouraged to have multiple registry targets in a config as it supports grouping/batching multiple apps and SDKs in a single target.

Environment

none

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: registry
    sdks:
      'npm:@sentry/browser':
    apps:
      'npm:@sentry/browser':
        urlTemplate: 'https://example.com/{{version}}/{{file}}'
        checksums:
          - algorithm: sha256
            format: hex

Cocoapods (cocoapods)

Pushes a new podspec to the central cocoapods repository. The Podspec is fetched from the Github repository with the revision that is being released. No release assets are required for this target.

Environment

The cocoapods gem must be installed on the system.

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: cocoapods
    specPath: MyProject.podspec

Docker (docker)

Copies an existing source image tagged with the revision SHA to a new target tagged with the released version. No release assets are required for this target except for the source image at the provided source image location so it would be a good idea to add a status check that ensures the source image exists, otherwise craft publish will fail at the copy step, causing an interrupted publish. This is an issue for other, non-idempotent targets, not for the Docker target.

Environment

docker executable (or something equivalent) with BuildKit must be installed on the system.

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: docker
    source: us.gcr.io/sentryio/craft
    target: getsentry/craft
# Optional but strongly recommended
statusProvider:
  name: github
  config:
    contexts:
      - Travis CI - Branch # or whatever builds and pushes your source image

Ruby Gems Index (gem)

Pushes a gem Ruby Gems. It also requires you to be logged in with gem login.

Environment

gem must be installed on the system.

Configuration

none

Example

targets:
  - name: gem

AWS Lambda Layer (aws-lambda-layer)

The target will create a new public lambda layer in each available region with the extracted artifact from the artifact provider, and update the Sentry release registry with the new layer versions afterwards.

Environment

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: aws-lambda-layer
    includeNames: /^sentry-node-serverless-\d+(\.\d+)*\.zip$/
    layerName: SentryNodeServerlessSDK
    compatibleRuntimes:
      - name: node
        versions:
          - nodejs10.x
          - nodejs12.x
    license: MIT

Unity Package Manager (upm)

Pulls the package as a zipped artifact and pushes the unzipped content to the target repository, tagging it with the provided version.

WARNING! The destination repository will be completely overwritten.

Environment

none

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: upm
    releaseRepoOwner: 'getsentry'
    releaseRepoName: 'unity'

Maven central (maven)

PGP signs and publishes packages to Maven Central.

Note: in order to see the output of the commands, set the logging level to trace.

Environment

Configuration

The Kotlin Multiplatform configuration is optional and false by default. If your project isn't related to Android, you don't need this configuration and can set the option to false. If not, set the following nested elements:

• distDirRegex: pattern of distribution directory names.
• fileReplaceeRegex: pattern of substring of distribution module names to be replaced to get the Android distribution file.
• fileReplacerStr: string to be replaced in the module names to get the Android distribution file.

Example (without Android config)

targets:
  - name: maven
    mavenCliPath: scripts/mvnw.cmd
    mavenSettingsPath: scripts/settings.xml
    mavenRepoId: ossrh
    mavenRepoUrl: https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/
    android: false

Example (with Android config)

targets:
  - name: maven
    mavenCliPath: scripts/mvnw.cmd
    mavenSettingsPath: scripts/settings.xml
    mavenRepoId: ossrh
    mavenRepoUrl: https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/
    android:
      distDirRegex: /^sentry-android-.*$/
      fileReplaceeRegex: /\d\.\d\.\d(-SNAPSHOT)?/
      fileReplacerStr: release.aar

Example (with Kotlin Multiplatform config)

targets:
  - name: maven
    mavenCliPath: scripts/mvnw.cmd
    mavenSettingsPath: scripts/settings.xml
    mavenRepoId: ossrh
    mavenRepoUrl: https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/

Symbol Collector (symbol-collector)

Using the symbol-collector client, uploads native symbols. The symbol-collector needs to be available in the path.

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: symbol-collector
    includeNames: /libsentry(-android)?\.so/
    batchType: Android
    bundleIdPrefix: android-ndk-

pub.dev (pub-dev)

Pushes a new Dart or Flutter package to pub.dev.

Because there is no automated way to login and obtain required tokens, you need to perform a valid release beforehand, for every package that you configure. This will open up your browser and use Google's OAuth to log you in, and generate an appropriate file with stored credentials.

Based on your environment, you can find this file at either $HOME/.pub-cache/credentials.json or $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/dart/pub-credentials.json for OSX and $HOME/.config/dart/pub-credentials.json for Linux, depending on your setup.

For this target to work correctly, either dart must be installed on the system or a valid dartCliPath must be provided.

Environment

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: pub-dev
    packages:
      uno:
      dos:
      tres:

Hex (hex)

Pushes a package to the Elixir / Erlang package manager Hex.

Environment

mix (bundled with the elixir language) must be installed on the system.

Configuration

none

Example

targets:
  - name: hex

Commit on Git Repository (commit-on-git-repository)

Takes a tarball and pushes the unpacked contents to a git repository.

Environment

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: commit-on-git-repository
    archive: /^sentry-deno-\d.*\.tgz$/
    repositoryUrl: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-deno
    stripComponents: 1
    branch: main
    createTag: true

PowerShellGet (powershell)

Uploads a module to PowerShell Gallery or another repository supported by PowerShellGet's Publish-Module.

The action looks for an artifact named <module>.zip and extracts it to a temporary directory. The extracted directory is then published as a module.

Environment

The pwsh executable must be installed on the system.

Configuration

Example

targets:
  - name: powershell
    module: Sentry

Integrating Your Project with craft

Here is how you can integrate your GitHub project with craft:

1. Set up a workflow that builds your assets and runs your tests. Allow building release branches (their names follow release/{VERSION} by default, configurable through releaseBranchPrefix).

   on:
     push:
       branches:
         - 'release/**'
   

2. Use the official actions/upload-artifact@v2 action to upload your assets. Here is an example config (step) of an archive job:

   - name: Archive Artifacts
     uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
     with:
       name: ${{ github.sha }}
       path: |
         ${{ github.workspace }}/*.tgz
         ${{ github.workspace }}/packages/tracing/build/**
         ${{ github.workspace }}/packages/**/*.tgz
   

   A few important things to note:

   • The name of the artifacts is very important and needs to be name: ${{ github.sha }}. Craft uses this as a unique id to fetch the artifacts.
   • Keep in mind that this action maintains the folder structure and zips everything together. Craft will download the zip and recursively walk it to find all assets.

3. Add .craft.yml configuration file to your project

   • List there all the targets you want to publish to
   • Configure additional options (changelog management policy, tag prefix, etc.)

4. Add a pre-release script to your project.

5. Get various configuration tokens

6. Run craft prepare <version> --publish and profit!

Pre-release (Version-bumping) Script: Conventions

Among other actions, craft prepare runs an external, project-specific command or script that is responsible for version bumping. By default, this script should be located at: ./scripts/bump-version.sh. The command can be configured by specifying the preReleaseCommand configuration option in craft.yml.

The following requirements are on the script interface and functionality:

• The script should accept at least two arguments. Craft will pass the old ("from") version and the new ("to") version as the last two arguments, respectively.
• The script must replace all relevant occurrences of the old version string with the new one.
• The script must not commit the changes made.
• The script must not change the state of the git repository (e.g. changing branches)

Example

#!/bin/bash
### Example of a version-bumping script for an NPM project.
### Located at: ./scripts/bump-version.sh
set -eux
OLD_VERSION="${1}"
NEW_VERSION="${2}"

# Do not tag and commit changes made by "npm version"
export npm_config_git_tag_version=false
npm version "${NEW_VERSION}"

Post-release Script: Conventions

Among other actions, craft publish runs an external, project-specific command or script that can do things like bumping the development version. By default, this script should be located at: ./scripts/post-release.sh. Unlike the pre-release command, this script is not mandatory so if the file does not exist, craft will report this fact and then move along as usual. This command can be configured by specifying postReleaseCommand configuration option in craft.yml.

The following requirements are on the script interface and functionality:

• The script should accept at least two arguments. Craft will pass the old ("from") version and the new ("to") version as the last two arguments, respectively.
• The script is responsible for any and all git state management as craft will simply exit after running this script as the final step. This means the script is responsible for committing and pushing any changes that it may have made.

Example

#!/bin/bash
### Example of a dev-version-bumping script for a Python project
### Located at: ./scripts/post-release.sh
set -eux
OLD_VERSION="${1}"
NEW_VERSION="${2}"

# Ensure master branch
git checkout master
# Advance the CalVer release by one-month and add the `.dev0` suffix
./scripts/bump-version.sh '' $(date -d "$(echo $NEW_VERSION | sed -e 's/^\([0-9]\{2\}\)\.\([0-9]\{1,2\}\)\.[0-9]\+$/20\1-\2-1/') 1 month" +%y.%-m.0.dev0)
# Only commit if there are changes, make sure to `pull --rebase` before pushing to avoid conflicts
git diff --quiet || git commit -anm 'meta: Bump new development version' && git pull --rebase && git push

Development

Logging Level

Logging level for craft can be configured via setting the CRAFT_LOG_LEVEL environment variable or using the --log-level CLI flag.

Accepted values are: Fatal, Error, Warn, Log, Info, Success, Debug, Trace, Silent, Verbose

Dry-run Mode

Dry-run mode can be enabled via setting the CRAFT_DRY_RUN environment variable to any truthy value (any value other than undefined, null, "", 0, false, and no). One may also use the --dry-run CLI flag.

In dry-run mode no destructive actions will be performed (creating remote branches, pushing tags, committing files, etc.)

Sentry Support

Errors you encounter while using Craft can be sent to Sentry. To use this feature, add CRAFT_SENTRY_DSN variable to your environment (or "craft" configuration file) that contains a Sentry project's DSN.

For example:

export CRAFT_SENTRY_DSN='https://1234@sentry.io/2345'

Releasing

craft obviously uses craft for preparing and publishing new releases!
