Appearance

provider-release ​

Create releases on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

What It Does ​

The provider-release command:

  1. ✅ Creates a release on GitHub/GitLab
  2. ✅ Uses changelog as release notes
  3. ✅ Attaches git tag
  4. ❌ Does NOT bump versions
  5. ❌ Does NOT publish to npm

Options ​

--from ​

Start release from specific tag:

bash
relizy provider-release --from v1.0.0

--to ​

End release at specific tag:

bash
relizy provider-release --to v2.0.0

--token ​

bash
relizy provider-release --token your_token

--provider ​

bash
relizy provider-release --provider github

GitHub Release ​

bash
relizy provider-release --provider github --token your_token

# Creates release at:
# https://github.com/user/repo/releases/tag/v1.0.0

GitLab Release ​

bash
relizy provider-release --provider gitlab --token your_token

# Creates release at:
# https://gitlab.com/user/repo/-/releases/v1.0.0

Pre-release ​

bash
relizy provider-release --prerelease

# Mark as pre-release (beta, alpha, rc)

Bitbucket Support ​

Bitbucket is partially supported with some limitations:

Bitbucket Limitations

Bitbucket Cloud does not provide an API for creating releases. When using Bitbucket:

  • Release creation is skipped - No releases will be created
  • Git tags are still created - During the commit step
  • All other features work - Versioning, changelog, publishing, and social media posting

Relizy will detect Bitbucket automatically and show a warning that release creation is skipped.

bash
# With Bitbucket, this skips release creation but everything else works
relizy provider-release --provider bitbucket

# You can still use the full release workflow
relizy release --patch
# ✅ Versions bumped
# ✅ Changelog generated
# ✅ Git tag created
# ⚠️  Release creation skipped (Bitbucket limitation)
# ✅ Published to npm
# ✅ Posted to social media

Bitbucket Workarounds ​

While you can't create releases via API, you can still:

  1. Use Git tags - Tags are created and pushed normally
  2. View tags on Bitbucket - At https://bitbucket.org/user/repo/commits/tag/v1.0.0
  3. Use Bitbucket Pipelines - Automate the release workflow
  4. Social media announcements - Keep users informed via Twitter/Slack
