A CLI tool to create a tag, build binary artifacts and create a Github release with a single command

Project Status: Extreme Alpha

Current Limitations:

1. Currently, this does not create a release or upload the artifacts, it just tags, pushes the tag and builds the artifacts

# Clone the default branch of the providied repositoryURL, create an annotated tag with 
# the provided message, and run the Make "buildRelease" target to generate assets

./go-git-release --tag v0.1.0 --repositoryURL [email protected]:clcollins/go-git-release.go \
                 --tagMessage "This is version 0.1.0 of go-git-release"

If the tag already exists, go-git-release will prompt whether or not to use the existing tag.

If a tag annotation message is not provided, go-git-release will open an editor, Git-style, and prompt the user for a message.

Command line flags can alternatively be privided via a configuration file or environment variables.

Order precidence is as follows:

1. command line flags
2. environment variables
3. config file values

Uppercased environment variables matching the flag names show in the help output will be parsed upon execution. For instance, in the example below, the environment variable REPOSITORYURL will be used for the repositoryURL CLI flag.

[email protected]/foo/bar.git go-git-release

Configuration flags will be read from a YAML config file specified by the --config or -c flags, or by default a .go-git-release.yaml file in the current working directory, if it exists.

Values should match the long-form flag name shown in the help output.
