MakeRelease

This is a standalone utility which will collect multiple JIRA stories and programmatically builds a release candidate branch.

• Can compare multiple feature branches against a single production branch (typically master)
• Displays the SHAs for all stories not yet merged into production
• Produce a release-candidate branch

Install the mkrelease executable

$ gem install make_release

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run gem install make_release. To release a new version, update the version number in globals.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
