genappup

A tool to generate Erlang .appup files, based on git meta information.

It analyzes diff between current HEAD and a specified branch/revision, generates .appup file and store it as src/{appname}.appup.src

Basic workflow

Common workflow may look like this:

• make branch from master, for instance, myfeature

  git checkout -b myfeature

• some code developing, fixing, etc.

• git commit

• go to the application root dir

• run genappup master. It analyzes which .erl files were changed, generates appup term and save it into src/{appname}.appup.src. If .appup file already exists, genappup can either:

  • leave it as is
  • overwrite
  • save the new file alongside

You can also run genappup in 'check' mode using '-c' option

genappup -c master

In this mode genappup will check that app version is incremented when at least one of .erl files is updated compared to the specified branch.
