AI-native workflow

See AI.md for a full breakdown of how your agent is instructed to use shipit. The shipit init command will append these instructions to your CLAUDE.md file.

Opening merge requests

Shipit integrates with your favorite agentic coding assistant. After installing shipit on your system, ask your agent to "create a merge request with shipit".

Multi-project releases

To release across multiple repositories in a defined order:

  1. Run shipit init --guide-only in a directory you can revisit for running your multi-project release
  2. Ask your agent to "run a multi-project release with shipit".
  3. On the first run it will prompt you for your list of projects, their directory paths, and the environment pipeline for each (e.g. dev → qa → main → tag), and then save the config to .shipit/multi-release.yml in your current directory. On subsequent runs the agent reads that config, confirms whether you want a full release or a scoped one, walks you through each step, and waits for your approval before opening any PR or pushing any tag.
