This is work in progress, and currently slightly broken. Still good enough for me.

Feel free to open issues on github, and/or pull requests with fixes.

Does all the necessary preparation to have github build a release.

• Prepare release
  • Checks workspace/git is clean
  • Removes -dev from version, and replaces by alpha/beta/[none]
  • Update Cargo.lock cargo update --workspace --dry-run --verbose
  • Commmits Cargo.toml (and other files as needed)
  • Pushes to git
  • Tags the release
  • Pushes the tag
• Prepare to continue with development
  • Bumps the local version patch/minor/major
  • Commits Cargo.toml
  • Pushes to git

"revspec 'origin/HEAD' not found"

The git interface is pretty complex. For them moment we use origin/HEAD to get the "correct" refspec. If you didn't create your local repository by cloning this will not exist. You can create it via git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/master. This will be fixed in a future release.

You can verify origin/HEAD exists via git show-ref.
