Cranko is a release automation tool implementing the just-in-time versioning workflow. It is cross-platform, installable as a single executable, supports multiple languages and packaging systems, and is designed from the ground up to work with [monorepos].
To learn more, check out [the book]!
Cranko is delivered as a single standalone executable for easy installation on
continuous integration systems. On Unix-like systems (including macOS), the
following command will drop an executable named cranko in the current
directory:
shell
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://pkgw.github.io/cranko/fetch-latest.sh | sh
On Windows systems, the following command will do the same in a PowerShell window:
pwsh
iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://pkgw.github.io/cranko/fetch-latest.ps1'))
For more details and additional methods, see the Installation section of [the book].
Because Cranko is a workflow tool, to really start using it you’ll need to learn a bit about how it works and then think about how to integrate it into your development processes. To learn more, check out the Getting Started and Just-in-Time Versioning sections of the book.
The cranko Cargo package provides the following optional [features]:
vendored-openssl — builds the [git2] dependency with its vendored-openssl
feature, which uses a builtin [OpenSSL] library rather than attempting to link
with the system version. This is useful when cross-compiling because often the
target environment lacks OpenSSL.Are welcome! Please open pull requests or issues against the [pkgw/cranko] repository.
