Automates Rust crate releases from CI with automated changelog generation, version bumps, and publishing via release PRs.
What is release-plz?
Release-plz is a Rust release automation tool that helps developers publish their crates from CI/CD pipelines. It automates the entire release process including changelog generation, version bumping, and publishing to cargo registries. The tool uses a "release PR" approach where it creates and maintains pull requests that can be merged when ready to trigger releases.
Rust developers and maintainers who want to automate their crate publishing workflow, particularly those working with CI/CD systems like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Gitea.
Release-plz is specifically optimized for Rust projects, requires minimal configuration, and provides a familiar pull request workflow that gives developers control over releases while automating repetitive tasks. Unlike generic release tools, it understands Rust-specific concerns like cargo workspaces and semantic versioning for crates.
