This is the Grunt plugin of Release It!

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.2

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-release-it --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-release-it');

The "release-it" task

See Release It! for configuration options.

Configuration

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named release-it to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig(). These are some of the options with their default values:

grunt.initConfig({
    'release-it': {
        options: {
            pkgFiles: ['package.json'],
            commitMessage: 'Release %s',
            tagName: '%s',
            tagAnnotation: 'Release %s',
            buildCommand: false
        }
    }
});

Usage

Release a new patch (increments from e.g. 1.0.4 to 1.0.5):
