A Python CLI tool that automates semantic version bumping and releases based on commit message conventions. It can be run standalone or via its official GitHub Action to version, tag, and publish releases.
Use cases
- automatically bump semver versions from commit messages
- generate changelogs from conventional commits
- automate PyPI releases in CI
- run semantic-release for a Python project
- determine next version number from git history
- publish GitHub releases automatically
When to choose
- you maintain a Python project wanting fully automated versioning and releases
- your team follows conventional commit conventions
- you want a GitHub Action for hands-off release publishing
When to avoid
- your project doesn't use structured commit message conventions
- you need semantic-release for JavaScript (use semantic-release instead)
- you prefer manual control over version numbers and release timing
