ci: automate releases (release-please + DMG + Homebrew cask)#2
Merged
Conversation
hdiutil attach -mountpoint failed because the directory was never created, so the curl one-liner died at the mount step. mkdir -p it first.
Adopt release-please (simple release type) to own versioning: it maintains version.txt + CHANGELOG.md, tags as vX.Y.Z, and cuts GitHub releases from conventional commits. Baseline set to 2.1.0.
When release-please cuts a release, build the Release config with the release version injected, package a DMG, attach it to the GitHub release, and push the new version + sha256 to the mulhamna/homebrew-tap cask. Build runs in the same workflow (gated on releases_created) because a GITHUB_TOKEN-created release does not trigger a separate on:release workflow. Requires a TAP_TOKEN secret with repo scope on the tap.
Replace the manual bump/DMG/cask instructions with the automated release-please flow (semver, injected MARKETING_VERSION, auto DMG + cask).
Release-As: 3.0.0
