Release File Manager

GUI tool to manage GitExtensions release files

The Goal

Manage setup build scripts

• Portable Build
• MSI Build

Expected Workflow

1. User runs build script to create release build files
2. User runs this utility or even utility is run in build script to alter setup build scripts to include missing files in both installers
3. User verifies setup build script changes and commits

Benefits

• Changes to needed files are detected
• User has final say over the changes and can edit in a way that is not prone to errors
• Sourcing files from ...\Bin\%Configuration% folder will make it so portable builds are easier to manage

releasefilemanager's Issues

Feature: Utility to help manage files in Portable build script and Installer

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
Feature
What is the current behavior?
Working with the build scripts and installer file is tedious and not easy to get right.
If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem.

What is the expected behavior?
A gui that parses the Product.wxs and MakePortableArchive.cmd and compares the paths to what exists in build output folder. A simple checkbox lets you comment or uncomment existing files in the portable build and add files to installer script by checking a checkbox. Click save and scripts are modified.
