# vociferate
|
|
|
|
A reusable release preparation tool for Go repositories.
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
Build with just:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
just go-build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or directly with Go:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go build -o dist/vociferate ./cmd/vociferate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Prepare release files:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go run ./cmd/vociferate --version v1.2.3 --date 2026-03-20 --root .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the provided workflow and composite action, `version` is optional. When it is omitted, vociferate computes and uses the recommended next version automatically.
|
|
|
|
Recommend next release tag from changelog content:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go run ./cmd/vociferate --recommend --root .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Flags
|
|
|
|
- `--version` semantic version to release (with or without leading `v`).
|
|
- `--date` release date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
|
|
- `--recommend` print recommended next tag based on `## [Unreleased]`.
|
|
- `--root` repository root directory.
|
|
- `--version-file` path to version source file relative to `--root`.
|
|
- `--version-pattern` regexp with exactly one capture group for version value.
|
|
- `--changelog` path to changelog file relative to `--root`.
|
|
|
|
Defaults:
|
|
|
|
- `version-file`: `internal/vociferate/version/version.go`
|
|
- `version-pattern`: `const String = "([^"]+)"`
|
|
- `changelog`: `changelog.md`
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
just go-test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Release Artifacts
|
|
|
|
The `Prepare Release` workflow creates a release and uploads prebuilt `vociferate` binaries for:
|
|
|
|
- `darwin/amd64`
|
|
- `darwin/arm64`
|
|
- `linux/amd64`
|
|
- `linux/arm64`
|
|
- `windows/amd64`
|
|
- `windows/arm64`
|
|
|
|
It also uploads `checksums.txt` for integrity verification.
|
|
If a release already exists for the same tag, the workflow updates its release notes and replaces matching asset filenames so reruns stay in sync.
|
|
|
|
## Reuse In Other Repositories
|
|
|
|
You can reuse vociferate in two ways.
|
|
|
|
Use the composite action directly:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- name: Prepare release files
|
|
uses: git.hrafn.xyz/aether/vociferate@main
|
|
with:
|
|
version-file: internal/myapp/version/version.go
|
|
version-pattern: 'const Version = "([^"]+)"'
|
|
changelog: changelog.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set `version` only when you want to override the recommended version.
|
|
|
|
Call the reusable release workflow:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
name: Release
|
|
|
|
on:
|
|
workflow_dispatch:
|
|
inputs:
|
|
version:
|
|
description: Optional semantic version override.
|
|
required: false
|
|
|
|
jobs:
|
|
release:
|
|
uses: aether/vociferate/.gitea/workflows/prepare-release.yml@main
|
|
with:
|
|
version: ${{ inputs.version }}
|
|
secrets: inherit
|
|
```
