Husky video is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHy5m3SwapVombs

[@prathameshshanbhag4148]

I absolutely loved this video!!💗💗 Thank you, Eddie! My Questions: What if I use the wrong commit message? Is there a way to fix that? Where do Packages & Tags fit into the scenario here? Things I need to learn before I can implement this: Squashing Commits in a separate branch & try to make a Breaking Change release. Learn more about Actions & using them! (Also if you don't want to answer the questions that's absolutely fine these are just a few doubts I have!)🙌

[@eddiejaoude]

Thank you Prathamesh! Great questions! I hope this helps... - If not pushed or in a branch that is waiting to be merged in, the commits can be squashed when merging or re-written - Tags are the same as releases in most situations - I create Packages at the same time as the release with the same version number, so it is all in sync If you need more information let me know

the create release is archived in 2024

[@sojioyetayo8610]

hi Eddie, thanks for this.. I have a question pls, how do we check within our workflow if a release already exists? is there an action we can use to achieve this or should we script with gh?

[@eddiejaoude]

hi, I am not sure, because I automate the release creation, it always takes the next version number and doesn't cause a clash. Why do you need to check?

[@dgabrielm]

Hi Eddie, how do you set up these GH Actions on a repo with branch protection? Is there a way to define an exception to GH actions?

[@eddiejaoude]

Oh great question! I think there is now a way, before there was not. Can you ping me in the EddieHub Discord so I can check when back at my computer

[@MarkusEicher70]

Another hit by Eddie! Thanks. 💪 I want to be ready for Hacktoberfest and this stuff I need! 🔥

lol love that! Thank you for subbing and writing code 🥳

[@hamodeyDooba]

thanks 😊 any video about bumping version ?

[@eddiejaoude]

You are welcome, thank you for the feedback! The version is automatically bumped, feat commits bump the minor, fix bump the build number

[@hamodeyDooba]

perfect, thanks for sharing, i loved you contents

[@thekarlesi]

Thank you, Eddie. I have learnt about releases.

[@eddiejaoude]

Great 👍

Awesome video, waiting for husky 🔥🔥. P.S. My name is in the video yay 🎉🎉

[@eddiejaoude]

Thank you for your support! Great you appear in the video 🥳 I created a Husky video before, let me know what you think and I can do part 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHy5m3SwapVombs

[@felipealvarez1982]

thanks for the video. REAL demo would have made it really good. Best of luck.

[@eddiejaoude]

Thanks for watching! We are living streaming this Sunday about advanced GitHub Actions on a real world project, bring your questions

[@Youdude2]

Is this only for npm projects or can it be used for django projects?

[@eddiejaoude]

Creating a release Action is for any project but the version number will have to be done differently

[@GeezUrCute]

Hi Eddie! Thank you so much for this video, it is really helpful. But I do have one question though, let's say you want to bump the version up from 0.x.x to 1.0.0, how do you do it? I went to your repository and saw that you had like over 80 features up to 0.8x.x before it went to 1.10.0. How do you do it?

[@eddiejaoude]

Thank you Ana for the great feedback on my video! Sure, you can initiate a breaking change, this is from their docs "BREAKING CHANGE: a commit that has a footer BREAKING CHANGE:, or appends a ! after the type/scope, introduces a breaking API change (correlating with MAJOR in Semantic Versioning). A BREAKING CHANGE can be part of commits of any type." Any questions let me know, you can come and chat to us in the EddieHub Discord also
