Publish packages as git tags
๐ง Works with projects with build steps.
๐ฏ Works with projects with multiple packages (monorepos).
๐ Lightweight git tags (only the files needed are included).
Both npm and yarn support installing packages from git tags.
But things can get difficult with packages that have a build step (eg babel) and monorepos with multiples packages (eg lerna).
gitpkg publish
creates a git tag with the same files as if you were running npm publish
or yarn publish
and uploads the generated git tag to a git repository.
Also you can publish any gitpkg package to the same repository, so you can have only one repository used as common registry and you get away from your project git repository the git tags with the build code.
- gitpkg package: git tag generated by gitpkg.
- gitpkg registry: git repository used as common host for your gitpkg packages.
Node.js v10.12 or newer is required.
Via the yarn client:
$ yarn global add gitpkg
Via the npm client:
$ npm install -g gitpkg
Via the yarn client:
$ yarn global add ramasilveyra/public-registry#gitpkg-v1.0.0-beta.2-gitpkg
Via the npm client:
$ npm install -g ramasilveyra/public-registry#gitpkg-v1.0.0-beta.2-gitpkg
Publishes a package to a git repository, by default uploads the package to the git repository in the git remote origin (git remote -v
to see your git remote origin url). The package published is defined by the package.json in the current directory.
$ gitpkg publish
$ gitpkg publish --registry [email protected]:org/private-registry.git
This flag tells gitpkg to publish the package to a specific gitpkg registry.
You can also set the gitpkg registry permanently by adding "gitpkg":{"registry":"[email protected]:org/private-registry.git"}
to the package.json.
You can also configure gitpkg with a config file. Create a file named gitpkg.config.js
in the root of your project or in the root of a subpackage.
Publish the package to a specific gitpkg registry. Same as the registry flag of the cli.
Function used to create the git tags. The function receives one object pkg
, which is the content of the package.json file.
// Example content of gitpkg.config.js
module.exports = () => ({
registry: "[email protected]:org/private-registry.git",
getTagName: (pkg) => `${pkg.name}-v${pkg.version}-gitpkg`,
});
