Tauri Release Automation

This skill automates the workflow for preparing and triggering a new release of a Tauri application.

Prerequisites

• GitHub CLI (gh) must be installed and authenticated (gh auth status).
• Node.js must be installed to run the bump script.

Usage

Run the release script from the root of the project repository:

node scripts/release.cjs [version]

Parameters

• [version] (optional): The target version to bump to (e.g. 1.47.9). If omitted, it automatically increments the patch version (e.g., 1.47.8 -> 1.47.9).

What it does

1. Reads the current version from package.json.
2. Computes the target version (either auto-incremented patch or user-supplied).
3. Bumps version strings in:
   • package.json
   • package-lock.json
   • src-tauri/tauri.conf.json
   • src-tauri/Cargo.toml
4. Automatically formats and prepends the recent changes to the top of CHANGELOG.md.
5. Stages all modified files, creates a release commit (chore: release v<version>), and creates a git tag (v<version>).
6. Pushes the commit and tags to the remote repository (origin main), triggering the CI pipeline (GitHub Actions).
7. Uses the GitHub CLI to create a new draft Release on GitHub populated with the changelog description.
