community_cookbook_releaser

A simple script to aid in version bumps and changelog generation for Chef managed community cookbooks

Usage

Create a CHANGELOG.md in the current cookbook directory that conforms to the Chef Cookbook community standard. It should contain:

This file is used to list changes made in each version of the X cookbook

Create a ~/.ccr_config.yml with the following content:

token: GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN
github_organization: YOUR_GITHUB_USER_OR_ORG

Replace the values as appropriate. The access token needs to have repo:public_repo if it is public/open source or repo:all if it is private. The github organization will default to chef-cookbooks if it is not specified.
