Previously known as
jsii-release
A unified toolchain for publishing libraries to popular package managers.
Supports:
This is an npm module. You can install it using yarn add publib or
npm install publib. In most cases it will be installed as a devDependency
in your package.json.
This tool expects to find a distribution directory (default name is dist)
which contains "ready-to-publish" artifacts for each package manager.
dist/js/*.tgz - npm tarballsdist/python/*.whl - Python wheelsdist/nuget/*.nupkg - Nuget packagesdist/java/** - Maven artifacts in local repository structuredist/go/**/go.mod - Go modules. Each subdirectory should have its own go.mod file.Each publisher needs a set of environment variables with credentials as
described below (NPM_TOKEN, TWINE_PASSWORD etc).
Then:
publib
You can customize the distribution directory through publib DIR (the
default is dist)
This command will discover all the artifacts based on the above structure and will publish them to their respective package manager.
You can also execute individual publishers:
publib-mavenpublib-nugetpublib-npmpublib-pypipublib-golangPublishes all *.tgz files from DIR to npmjs, GitHub Packages or AWS CodeArtifact.
If AWS CodeArtifact is used as npm registry, a temporary npm authorization token is created using AWS CLI. Therefore, it is necessary to provide the necessary configuration settings, e.g. by passing access key ID and secret access key to this script.
Usage:
npx publib-npm [DIR]
DIR is a directory with npm tarballs (*.tgz). Default is dist/js.
Options (environment variables):
| Option | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
NPM_TOKEN | Optional | Registry authentication token (either npm.js publishing token or a GitHub personal access token), not used for AWS CodeArtifact |
NPM_REGISTRY | Optional | The registry URL (defaults to "registry.npmjs.org"). Use "npm.pkg.github.com" to publish to GitHub Packages. Use repository endpoint for AWS CodeAtifact, e.g. "my-domain-111122223333.d.codeartifact.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/npm/my_repo/". |
NPM_DIST_TAG | Optional | Registers the published package with the given dist-tag (e.g. next, default is latest) |
NPM_ACCESS_LEVEL | Optional | Publishes the package with the given access level (e.g. public, default is restricted for scoped packages and public for unscoped packages) |
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID | Optional | If AWS CodeArtifact is used as registry, an AWS access key can be spedified. |
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY | Optional | Secret access key that belongs to the AWS access key. |
AWS_ROLE_TO_ASSUME | Optional | If AWS CodeArtifact is used as registry, an AWS role ARN to assume before authorizing. |
DISABLE_HTTPS | Optional | Connect to the registry with HTTP instead of HTTPS (defaults to false). |
Publishes all Maven modules in the DIR to Maven Central.
Note that if you signed up at SonaType after February 2021, you need to use this URL: https://s01.oss.sonatype.org (announcement).
Usage:
npx publib-maven [DIR]
DIR is a directory with a local maven layout. Default is dist/java.
Options (environment variables):
| Option | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
MAVEN_USERNAME and MAVEN_PASSWORD | Yes | Username and password for maven repository. For Maven Central, you will need to Create JIRA account and then request a new project. Read the OSSRH guide for more details. |
MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY or MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE and MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE | Yes for Maven Central | GPG private key or file that includes it. This is used to sign your Maven packages. See instructions below |
MAVEN_STAGING_PROFILE_ID | Yes for Maven Central | Maven Central (sonatype) staging profile ID (e.g. 68a05363083174). Staging profile ID can be found in the URL of the "Releases" staging profile under "Staging Profiles" in https://oss.sonatype.org or https://s01.oss.sonatype.org if you are logged in (e.g. https://oss.sonatype.org/#stagingProfiles;68a05363083174). |
MAVEN_ENDPOINT | Yes for new Maven Central users | URL of Nexus repository. Defaults to https://oss.sonatype.org. Use https://s01.oss.sonatype.org if you are a new user. |
MAVEN_SERVER_ID | No | Used in maven settings for credential lookup (e.g. use github when publishing to GitHub). Defaults to ossrh for Maven Central. |
MAVEN_REPOSITORY_URL | No | Deployment repository when not deploying to Maven Central |
MAVEN_DRYRUN | No | Set to "true" for a dry run |
How to create a GPG key?
Install GnuPG.
Generate your key:
$ gpg --full-generate-key
# select RSA only, 4096, passphrase
Your selected passphrase goes to MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSPHRASE.
Export and publish the public key:
gpg -a --export > public.pem
Go to https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/ and submit the public key.
You can use cat public.pem and copy/paste it into the "Submit Key" dialog.
Export the private key:
gpg -a --export-secret-keys <fingerprint> > private.pem
Now, either set MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE to point to private.pem or
export the private key to a single line where newlines are encoded as \n
and then assign it to MAVEN_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY:
echo $(cat -e private.pem) | sed 's/\$ /\\n/g' | sed 's/\$$//'
Publish to GitHub Packages
An example GitHub Actions publish step:
- name: Publish package
run: npx -p publib publib-maven
env:
MAVEN_SERVER_ID: github
MAVEN_USERNAME: ${{ github.actor }}
MAVEN_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
MAVEN_REPOSITORY_URL: "https://maven.pkg.github.com/${{ github.repository }}"

This package contains the publib-ca CLI tool which is intended to use to publish
packages to CodeArtifact for testing (in a pipeline, before publishing to the
actual public package managers).
Use the following commands:
publib-ca create [--no-gc] [--no-login] creates a new CodeArtifact repository
with a random name, with upstreams configured for all supported public package
managers. By default this command runs the gc and login subcommands
automatically.
publib-ca login --repo NAME [--cmd COMMAND] logs in to a CodeArtifact repository and prepares some files that configure package managers for use with this CodeArtifact repository. If --cmd is given, the command is run in an environment
where all supported package managers have been configured for the given repository.
Otherwise, activate these settings in the current bash shell by running
source ~/.publib-ca/usage/activate.bash. This will set some
environment variables and copy some files into the current directory. (Note: the
CodeArtifact repository used here does not have to be created using publib-ca create. It
is fine if it already existed beforehand).
publib-ca gc collects old repositories created using publib-ca create.
publib-ca publish [--repo NAME] DIRECTORY publishes all packages in the given
directory to the given repository. If --repo is not given, the most recently
logged-into repository is used, if the login session is still valid.
Released under the Apache 2.0 license.
