NAME
       git-release - Commit, tag and push changes to the repository

SYNOPSIS
       git-release  [<tagname>	|  --semver  <name>] [-r <remote>] [-m <commit
       info>] [--no-empty-commit] [-c] [-s] [-u	<key-id>] [--prefix <tag  pre-
       fix>] [[--] <hook arguments...>]

DESCRIPTION
       Commits	changes	 with message "Release <tagname>" or custom commit in-
       formation, tags with the	given <tagname>	and pushes the branch /	tags.

       This command always creates a release commit, which could be  empty  if
       nothing changed.	It works like git merge	--no-ff. If you	don't like the
       behavior, you could add --no-empty-commit to skip it.

       Optionally  it  generates  a changelog (see git-changelog) and a	remote
       can be defined. The order of first -c or	-r does	not matter.

       If .git/hook/pre-release	or .git/hook/post-release exist, they will  be
       triggered  with	tagname	 and extra hook	arguments before/after the re-
       lease.

OPTIONS
       --semver	<name>

       If the latest tag in your repo matches the semver  format  requirement,
       you  could increase part	of it as the new release tag with this option.
       The name	must be	one of the major, minor, patch.	For  example,  assumed
       the  latest tag is 4.4.0, with git release --semver minor you will make
       a new release with tag 4.5.0. Use --prefix if tag has a	character  be-
       fore semver.

       <tagname>

       The name	of the newly created tag. Also used in tag comment.

       --prefix	<tag prefix>

       Use  a  prefix with a semver tag. git release --semver minor --prefix r
       would increment the latest tag r4.4.0 to	r4.5.0.	This prefix can	be any
       length, without spaces.

       -r <remote>

       The "remote" repository that is destination of a	push operation:	it  is
       passed to git push.

       -m <commit info>

       use  the	 custom	commit information instead of the default message "Re-
       lease <tagname>"	.

       --no-empty-commit

       Avoid creating empty commit if nothing could be committed.

       -c

       Generates or populates the changelog with all commit message since  the
       last tag. For more info see git-changelog..

       -s

       Create a	signed and annotated tag.

       -u <key-id>

       Create a	tag, annotated and signed with the given key.

       [--] hook arguments...

       The   arguments	 listed	  after	 "--"  separator  will	be  passed  to
       pre/post-release	hook following the tagname.
