sv4git
A command line tool (CLI) to validate commit messages, bump version, create tags and generate changelogs!
## Getting Started
### Pre Requirements
- Git 2.17+
### Installing
- Download the latest release and add the binary to your path.
- Optional: Set `SV4GIT_HOME` to define user configs. Check the [Config](#config) topic for more information.
If you want to install from source using `go install`, just run:
```bash
# keep in mind that with this, it will compile from source and won't show the version on cli -h.
go install github.com/bvieira/sv4git/v2/cmd/git-sv@latest
# if you want to add the version on the binary, run this command instead.
SV4GIT_VERSION=$(go list -f '{{ .Version }}' -m github.com/bvieira/sv4git/v2@latest | sed 's/v//') && go install --ldflags "-X main.Version=$SV4GIT_VERSION" github.com/bvieira/sv4git/v2/cmd/git-sv@v$SV4GIT_VERSION
```
### Config
#### YAML
There are 3 config levels when using sv4git: [default](#default), [user](#user), [repository](#repository). All of them are merged considering the follow priority: **repository > user > default**.
To see the current config, run:
```bash
git sv cfg show
```
##### Configuration Types
###### Default
To check the default configuration, run:
```bash
git sv cfg default
```
###### User
For user config, it is necessary to define the `SV4GIT_HOME` environment variable, eg.:
```bash
SV4GIT_HOME=/home/myuser/.sv4git # myuser is just an example.
```
And create a `config.yml` file inside it, eg.:
```bash
.sv4git
└── config.yml
```
###### Repository
Create a `.sv4git.yml` file on the root of your repository, eg.: [.sv4git.yml](.sv4git.yml).
##### Configuration format
```yml
version: "1.1" #config version
versioning: # versioning bump
update-major: [] # Commit types used to bump major.
update-minor: [feat] # Commit types used to bump minor.
update-patch: [build, ci, chore, fix, perf, refactor, test] # Commit types used to bump patch.
# When type is not present on update rules and is unknown (not mapped on commit message types);
# if ignore-unknown=false bump patch, if ignore-unknown=true do not bump version
ignore-unknown: false
tag:
pattern: '%d.%d.%d' # Pattern used to create git tag.
release-notes:
# Deprecated!!! please use 'sections' instead!
# Headers names for release notes markdown. To disable a section just remove the header
# line. It's possible to add other commit types, the release note will be created
# respecting the following order: feat, fix, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore, docs, style, breaking-change.
headers:
breaking-change: Breaking Changes
feat: Features
fix: Bug Fixes
sections: # Array with each section of release note. Check template section for more information.
- name: Features # Name used on section.
section-type: commits # Type of the section, supported types: commits, breaking-changes.
commit-types: [feat] # Commit types for commit section-type, one commit type cannot be in more than one section.
- name: Bug Fixes
section-type: commits
commit-types: [fix]
- name: Breaking Changes
section-type: breaking-changes
branches: # Git branches config.
prefix: ([a-z]+\/)? # Prefix used on branch name, it should be a regex group.
suffix: (-.*)? # Suffix used on branch name, it should be a regex group.
disable-issue: false # Set true if there is no need to recover issue id from branch name.
skip: [master, main, developer] # List of branch names ignored on commit message validation.
skip-detached: false # Set true if a detached branch should be ignored on commit message validation.
commit-message:
types: [build, ci, chore, docs, feat, fix, perf, refactor, revert, style, test] # Supported commit types.
scope:
# Define supported scopes, if blank, scope will not be validated, if not, only scope listed will be valid.
# Don't forget to add "" on your list if you need to define scopes and keep it optional.
values: []
footer:
issue: # Use "issue: {}" if you wish to disable issue footer.
key: jira # Name used to define an issue on footer metadata.
key-synonyms: [Jira, JIRA] # Supported variations for footer metadata.
use-hash: false # If false, use : separator. If true, use # separator.
add-value-prefix: '' # Add a prefix to issue value.
issue:
regex: '[A-Z]+-[0-9]+' # Regex for issue id.
```
#### Templates
**sv4git** uses *go templates* to format the output for `release-notes` and `changelog`, to see how the default template is configured check [template directory](cmd/git-sv/resources/templates). On v2.7.0+, its possible to overwrite the default configuration by adding `.sv4git/templates` on your repository. The cli expects that at least 2 files exists on your directory: `changelog-md.tpl` and `releasenotes-md.tpl`.
```bash
.sv4git
└── templates
├── changelog-md.tpl
└── releasenotes-md.tpl
```
Everything inside `.sv4git/templates` will be loaded, so it's possible to add more files to be used as needed.
##### Variables
To execute the template the `releasenotes-md.tpl` will receive a single **ReleaseNote** and `changelog-md.tpl` will receive a list of **ReleaseNote** as variables.
Each **ReleaseNoteSection** will be configured according with `release-notes.section` from config file. The order for each section will be maintained and the **SectionType** is defined according with `section-type` attribute as described on the table below.
| section-type | ReleaseNoteSection |
| -- | -- |
| commits | ReleaseNoteCommitsSection |
| breaking-changes | ReleaseNoteBreakingChangeSection |
> :warning: currently only `commits` and `breaking-changes` are supported as `section-types`, using a different value for this field will make the section to be removed from the template variables.
Check below the variables available:
```go
ReleaseNote
Release string // 'v' followed by version if present, if not tag will be used instead.
Tag string // Current tag, if available.
Version *Version // Version from tag or next version according with semver.
Date time.Time
Sections []ReleaseNoteSection // ReleaseNoteCommitsSection or ReleaseNoteBreakingChangeSection
AuthorNames []string // Author names recovered from commit message (user.name from git)
Version

```
##### Functions
Beside the [go template functions](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template#hdr-Functions), the folowing functions are availiable to use in the templates. Check [formatter_functions.go](sv/formatter_functions.go) to see the functions implementation.
###### timefmt
**Usage:** timefmt time "2006-01-02"
Receive a time.Time and a layout string and returns a textual representation of the time according with the layout provided. Check for more information.
###### getsection
**Usage:** getsection sections "Features"
Receive a list of ReleaseNoteSection and a Section name and returns a section with the provided name. If no section is found, it will return `nil`.
### Running
Run `git-sv` to get the list of available parameters:
```bash
git-sv
```
#### Run as git command
If `git-sv` is configured on your path, you can use it like a git command:
```bash
git sv
git sv current-version
git sv next-version
```
#### Usage
Use `--help` or `-h` to get usage information, don't forget that some commands have unique options too:
```bash
# sv help
git-sv -h
# sv release-notes command help
git-sv rn -h
```
##### Available commands
| Variable | description | has options or subcommands |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | :------------------------: |
| config, cfg | Show config information. | :heavy_check_mark: |
| current-version, cv | Get last released version from git. | :x: |
| next-version, nv | Generate the next version based on git commit messages. | :x: |
| commit-log, cl | List all commit logs according to range as jsons. | :heavy_check_mark: |
| commit-notes, cn | Generate a commit notes according to range. | :heavy_check_mark: |
| release-notes, rn | Generate release notes. | :heavy_check_mark: |
| changelog, cgl | Generate changelog. | :heavy_check_mark: |
| tag, tg | Generate tag with version based on git commit messages. | :x: |
| commit, cmt | Execute git commit with convetional commit message helper. | :heavy_check_mark: |
| validate-commit-message, vcm | Use as prepare-commit-message hook to validate commit message. | :heavy_check_mark: |
| help, h | Shows a list of commands or help for one command. | :x: |
##### Use range
Commands like `commit-log` and `commit-notes` has a range option. Supported range types are: `tag`, `date` and `hash`.
By default, it's used [--date=short](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log#Documentation/git-log.txt---dateltformatgt) at `git log`, all dates returned from it will be in `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
Range `tag` will use `git for-each-ref refs/tags` to get the last tag available if `start` is empty, the others types won't use the existing tags. It's recommended to always use a start limit in a old repository with a lot of commits. This behavior was maintained to not break the retrocompatibility.
Range `date` use git log `--since` and `--until`. It's possible to use all supported formats from [git log](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log#Documentation/git-log.txt---sinceltdategt). If `end` is in `YYYY-MM-DD` format, `sv` will add a day on git log command to make the end date inclusive.
Range `tag` and `hash` are used on git log [revision range](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log#Documentation/git-log.txt-ltrevisionrangegt). If `end` is empty, `HEAD` will be used instead.
```bash
# get commit log as json using a inclusive range
git-sv commit-log --range hash --start 7ea9306~1 --end c444318
# return all commits after last tag
git-sv commit-log --range tag
```
##### Use validate-commit-message as prepare-commit-msg hook
Configure your `.git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg`:
```bash
#!/bin/sh
COMMIT_MSG_FILE=$1
COMMIT_SOURCE=$2
SHA1=$3
git sv vcm --path "$(pwd)" --file "$COMMIT_MSG_FILE" --source "$COMMIT_SOURCE"
```
**Tip**: you can configure a directory as your global git templates using the command below:
```bash
git config --global init.templatedir ''
```
Check [git config docs](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-inittemplateDir) for more information!
