gon release

Build, push, and deploy in a single command. Combines gon build --push + gon deploy.

Usage

gon release                    # Test, build, push, deploy to default env (production)
gon release staging            # Release to staging environment
gon release production         # Explicit production
gon release --force            # Skip deploy confirmation
gon release --tag=v2.0.0       # Explicit tag
gon release --no-cache         # Clean rebuild
gon release --skip-tests       # Deploy without running tests

Target environment

The optional environment argument routes the deploy step to the host registered for that environment in ~/.gon/servers.json. Without it, release targets the project's default_environment (which is production for projects registered with the original single-host workflow).

gon release                    # Default env (usually production)
gon release staging            # Whatever staging.host points to
gon release staging --tag=v2.0.0 --force

To register a new environment (so this argument has somewhere to deploy), see gon server:add-project with the --env flag, or the multi-environment recipe.

Auto-increment

Without --tag, queries GHCR for the latest semver tag and increments the patch version:

v2.2.0 (latest on GHCR) → v2.2.1 (new build)

If no versions exist yet, starts at v1.0.0.

What happens

Resolve next tag from GHCR (or use --tag)
Run test suite (unless --skip-tests) — aborts on failure
Build production Docker image
Push to ghcr.io/rozklad/gon-{project}:{tag}
Deploy to production server (with confirmation unless --force)
Health check + post-deploy commands

Arguments & options
