sbt-release-tags-only

A small extension to sbt-release, to support version tracking purely through Git tags, without the need for commits to a version.sbt file. Natively supports independently versioned multi-module projects.

Using it

  1. Add the plugin:
    addSbtPlugin("com.github.gseitz" % "sbt-release" % "1.0.7")
  2. Define your release process, including the relevant tasks:
    releaseProcess := Seq[ReleaseStep](
      checkSnapshotDependencies,
      releaseStepCommand(ExtraReleaseCommands.initialVcsChecksCommand),
      setVersionFromTags(releaseTagPrefix.value),
      runClean,
      tagRelease,
      publishArtifacts
      pushTagsOnly
    )

Notes

  • setVersionFromTags() replaces inquireVersions, setReleaseVersion
  • commitReleaseVersion, commitNextVersion, and setNextVersion should no longer be used
  • pushTagsOnly replaces pushChanges
