Release Scripts

create-release.sh

This script automates the process of creating a new release for LifeTrinket.

Usage

npm run release
# or
pnpm release
# or
bash scripts/create-release.sh

What it does

Reads the current version from package.json
Checks for existing tags - If a tag with the current version already exists, it will prompt you to update the version in package.json first
Warns about uncommitted changes - Prompts for confirmation if you have uncommitted changes
Prompts for release description - You can enter a multi-line description for the release
Creates an annotated git tag with the version and description
Pushes the tag to remote - This triggers the GitHub Actions workflow that builds and deploys the app

Workflow

When you push a tag, the following happens:

The firebase-release.yml workflow is triggered
The app is built and deployed to Firebase Hosting
A GitHub release is created with the version number

Before running

Make sure to:

Update the version in package.json if needed
Commit all changes you want to include in the release
Test the build with npm run build to ensure everything works

Example

# 1. Update version in package.json to 1.0.3
# 2. Commit your changes
git add .
git commit -m "feat: add new features for v1.0.3"

# 3. Run the release script
npm run release

# The script will:
# - Show current version: 1.0.3
# - Prompt for confirmation
# - Ask for release description
# - Create and push the tag
# - Trigger the deployment workflow

Troubleshooting

"Tag already exists" error:

Update the version in package.json before creating a new release

"Failed to push tag" error:

Check your git remote permissions
Try pushing manually: git push origin <version>
