Getting started

1. Start formatting commit messages so that go-semrel-gitlab understands them
   • first line of form: type(scope): subject
   • breaking change marked with: BREAKING CHANGE:
2. Give go-semrel-gitlab permission to create tags and commit in your project
   • Create a personal access token with api scope
   • Assign it to GL_TOKEN in your project ‘Settings → CI/CD → Variables’
3. Use go-semrel-gitlab in Gitlab CI jobs, for example to
   • update changelog and make a release (update changelog, commit version bump, create tag, and attach download to tag description)
   • determine the next version number, to be embedded into the executable in subsequent step of the pipeline.
