cranko

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.

Installation

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:

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:

[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072
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.

Getting Started

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.

cargo Features

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.
