vfk-cli

A command line interface for our pleasure

vfk-cli will help you create a beautiful pull request and release based on conventional commits.
Conventional commits are commits that follow the Conventional Commits Specification.

Supported conventional commit types:

• Maintenance (🛠): test, style, docs, chore, refactor
• Patch (🐛): fix, perf, patch
• Minor (✨): feat, minor
• Major (🚨): breaking change, breaking, major, feat!, fix!

If a commit does not start with one of the supported conventional commit types, it will be put under Other commits section in the changelog.

Supported project types:

• Node.js (package.json, package-lock.json)
• dotnet (*.csproj first one with tag)

vfk pr [patch|minor|major]

Create a pull request with a version bump and changelog based on conventional commits since last release.
If no previous release is found, it will create an initial release with version 1.0.0.

Steps performed:

• Check current branch is NOT default branch and that current branch is up-to-date with origin and has no uncommitted changes
• Determine and get project information (supports Node.js and dotnet projects)
• Run tests to ensure code is working before creating PR
• Get and analyze commits since last release tag (if no tag found, will create initial release)
  • If no commits found, will exit with error message
  • If chosen pr type is lower than the highest type found in commits, will exit with error message
• Find latest version tag
• Determining new version based on chosen pr type, commits found and latest version tag
• Bump project version file(s)
  • Node.js: package.json, package-lock.json
  • dotnet: *.csproj (the first one found that contains a tag)
• Commit version bump and push to origin
• Generate changelog based on commits found
• Create pull request link with title and description (changelog)
