h3. How
Package the plugin in the correct format for Intellij and publish them as artefacts to the github repository(.zip, .tar.gz). Gradle extensions or plugins can be used. Steps for release generation could can be described as follows following :
{code}
RELEASE PROCESS:
Export GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable
export GITHUB_TOKEN=<github-token>
Define local variables used for release
ARTIFACT_NAME='aerogear-mobile-intellij-plugin'
ARTIFACT_VERSION='X.Y.Z'
ARTIFACT_BUILD='<alpha|beta>'
ARTIFACT_TYPE='zip'
ARTIFACT_FILE_NAME=${ARTIFACT_NAME}-${ARTIFACT_VERSION}-${ARTIFACT_BUILD}.${ARTIFACT_TYPE}
REPO_NAME='aerogear-mobile-intellij-plugin'
RELEASE_NAME="Aerogear Mobile Intellij Plugin ${ARTIFACT_VERSION}-${ARTIFACT_BUILD}"
ARTIFACT_FILE_PATH="build/distributions/${ARTIFACT_FILE_NAME}"
Create CHANGELOG and save it to file
git log --no-merges --pretty=format:"%h - %an, %s" > commits
RELEASE_DESC=$(cat commits)
Change project version in build.gradle file to X.Y.Z[-<alpha|beta>]
Replace '1.0-SNAPSHOT' with X.Y.Z[-<alpha|beta>]
Commit with release version changes
git commit -m "tag for new release'
Git tag and push
git tag vX.Y.Z && git push origin --tags
Build plugin with X.Y.Z[-<alpha|beta>] version
gradle buildPlugin
Download github-release tool for github release
go get -v -u github.com/aktau/github-release
Make X.Y.Z release
$GOPATH/bin/github-release release -u aerogear -r "$REPO_NAME" -p -t "v${ARTIFACT_VERSION}-${ARTIFACT_BUILD}" -d "$RELEASE_DESC" -n "$RELEASE_NAME"
Upload artifacts with X.Y.Z release
$GOPATH/bin/github-release -v upload -u aerogear -r "$REPO_NAME" -t "v${ARTIFACT_VERSION}-${ARTIFACT_BUILD}" -n "${ARTIFACT_FILE_NAME}" -f "${ARTIFACT_FILE_PATH}"
