Add a test case similar to cli_base/tests/test_readme_history.py into your project.
Add the needed start/end comments into your README.
To make a new release, do this:
It's recommended to use git hookd (via pre-commit) to update the README.
For this, add in your pyproject.toml:
[tool.cli_base]
version_module_name = "<your_package>" # Must provide the `__version__` attribute
Copy&paste .pre-commit-config.yaml into your project.
Add pre-commit to your requirements and install the git hooks by:
.venv/bin/pre-commit install
.venv/bin/pre-commit autoupdate
Update version in .pre-commit-config.yaml and make a release.
The Problem: The hooks are broken, if the "new" version is not tagged yet.
To create a release, it's possible to use all git commands (commit, push, etc) with --no-verify to skip the hooks.
It's easier to temporarily uninstall the hooks, create the release and install the hooks again, e.g.:
.../cli-base-utilities$ .venv/bin/pre-commit uninstall
# ...bump version, commit, push, merge... create release...
.../cli-base-utilities$ .venv/bin/pre-commit install
__version__ from module./cli_base/demo/FAQs
