go get -u newreleases.io/cmd/newreleases

A convenience installation for macOS and Linux users.

brew install newreleasesio/cmd/newreleases

This tool needs to authenticate to NewReleases API using a secret Auth Key that can be generated on the service settings web pages.

The key can be stored permanently by issuing interactive commands:

newreleases configure

or

newreleases get-auth-key

or it can be provided as the command line argument flag --auth-key on every newreleases command execution.

NewReleases client and its commands have help pages associated with them that can be printed out with -h flag:

newreleases -h
newreleases get-auth-key -h
newreleases project add -h

The base command for getting projects is project and it shows available sub-commands which are list, search, get, add, update and remove.

Listing all added projects is paginated and a page can be specified with --page (short -p) flag:

newreleases project list
newreleases project list -p 2

Project can be filtered by provider:

newreleases project list --provider github

and the order can be specified with --order flag which can have values updated, added or name:

newreleases project list --order name

Projects can be searched by name with:

newreleases project search go

where go is the example of a search string.

Search results can be filtered by provider, just as listing can be with --provider flag:

newreleases project search go --provider github

Information about a specific project can be retrieved with:

newreleases project get github golang/go

or by a project id:

newreleases project get mdsbe60td5gwgzetyksdfeyxt4

A project can be added with:

newreleases project add github golang/go

But there is a number of options that can be set, as by default, none of the notifications are enabled.

To enable emailing:

newreleases project add github golang/go --email daily

Or to add Slack notifications as well, but exclude pre-releases:

newreleases project add github golang/go --email daily --slack td5gwxt4mdsbe6gzetyksdfey0 --exclude-prereleases

More details about options can be found on add sub-command help page:

newreleases project add -h

Updating a project options is also possible. It contains the same options as the add command with additional flags to remove some of them. More information about options can be found on update sub-command help page:

newreleases project update -h

It is important that only specified options will be changed. For example, specifying different Slack channels will not remove already set other options like Telegram or Email or exclusions.

newreleases project update github golang/go --slack td5gwxt4mdsbe6gzetyksdfey0

To remove the project from tracking its releases:

newreleases project remove github golang/go

or by a project id:

newreleases project remove mdsbe60td5gwgzetyksdfeyxt4

The base command for getting releases is release and it shows available sub-commands which are list, get, and note.

To list all releases in chronological order of one project:

newreleases release list github golang/go

where the first argument after list is the provider and the second one is the project name.

or by project id:

newreleases release list mdsbe60td5gwgzetyksdfeyxt4

where the only argument after list is the project ID.

Results are paginated and the requested page can be specified with --page (short -p) flag.

newreleases release list github golang/go -p 2

To get information about only one release, there is the get sub-command:

newreleases release get github golang/go go1.13.5

newreleases release get mdsbe60td5gwgzetyksdfeyxt4 go1.13.5

To get information about only one release, there is the get-latest sub-command:

newreleases release get-latest github golang/go

newreleases release get-latest mdsbe60td5gwgzetyksdfeyxt4

To get a release note about a release, there is the note sub-command:

newreleases release note npm vue 2.6.11

newreleases release note gzetyksdfeyxt4mdsbe60td5gw 2.6.11

NewReleases supports a number of clients and they can be listed with:

newreleases providers

To list only providers that you have project added from:

newreleases providers --added

This information can be useful when filtering projects by a provider.

Notification channels can be managed only over the service's web interface. With NewReleases CLI client, they can be listed to relate their IDs from the output from other commands with their names. Available commands:

newreleases slack
newreleases telegram
newreleases discord
newreleases hangouts-chat
newreleases microsoft-teams
newreleases mattermost
newreleases rocketchat
newreleases matrix
newreleases webhook

The base command for getting tags is tag and it shows available sub-commands which are list, get, add, update and remove.

Listing all tags:

newreleases tag list

Information about a specific tag can be retrieved with:

newreleases tag get 33f1db7254b9

A tag can be added with specifying its name:

newreleases tag add Awesome
