Interactively generate a starter .releasejet.yml.

Interactive setup for ReleaseJet

Examples

releasejet init

Internal-only labels prompt

Since 1.22.0, init asks "Mark some issues as internal-only (skipped from release notes)?" (default no) immediately after the contributors prompt and before the Jira question.

Answering yes prompts for:

  1. A comma-separated list of label names with the default internal,chore. Whitespace is trimmed, duplicates are removed, and empty entries are filtered out.

Whatever you accept becomes the excludeLabels: array in the generated .releasejet.yml. Declining writes a commented-out # excludeLabels: [internal, chore] placeholder so the feature stays discoverable when you open the file later. See Excluding internal issues for the full reference.

Jira ticket linking prompt

Since 1.18.0, init asks "Set up Jira ticket linking?" (default no) after the contributors prompt (and, since 1.22.0, after the internal-only labels prompt).

Answering yes prompts for:

  1. The Jira base URL — accepts a literal URL (e.g. https://acme.atlassian.net) or an ${ENV_VAR} reference. Empty input re-prompts.
  2. A comma-separated list of project keys — auto-uppercased and deduped. Empty input re-prompts.

Declining writes a commented-out jira: placeholder block to the generated .releasejet.yml so the feature is discoverable when you open the file later. See Jira ticket linking for the full reference.
