Configuration options can be given in three ways:
setup.cfg
file in a[semantic_release]
sectionpyproject.toml
file in a[tool.semantic_release]
section-D
option, like so:semantic-release <command> -D <option_name>=<option_value>
Each location has priority over the ones listed above it.
The branch to run releases from.
Default: master
The file and variable name of where the version number is stored, for example:
semantic_release/__init__.py:__version__
You can specify multiple version variables (i.e. in different files) by providing comma-separated list of such strings:
semantic_release/__init__.py:__version__,docs/conf.py:version
In pyproject.toml
specifically, you can also use the TOML list syntax to specify multiple versions:
[tool.semantic_release]
version_variable = [
'semantic_release/__init__.py:__version__',
'docs/conf.py:version',
]
Similar to config-version_variable
, but allows the version number to be identified safely in a toml file like pyproject.toml
, using a dotted notation to the key path:
pyproject.toml:tool.poetry.version
Similar to config-version_variable
, but allows the version number to be identified using an arbitrary regular expression:
README.rst:VERSION (\d+\.\d+\.\d+)
The regular expression must contain a parenthesized group that matches the version number itself. Anything outside that group is just context. For example, the above specifies that there is a version number in README.rst
preceded by the string "VERSION".
If the pattern contains the string {version}
, it will be replaced with the regular expression used internally by python-semantic-release
to match semantic version numbers. So the above example would probably be better written as:
README.rst:VERSION {version}
As with config-version_variable
, it is possible to specify multiple version patterns in pyproject.toml
.
The way we get and set the new version. Can be commit or tag.
- If set to tag, will get the current version from the latest tag matching
vX.Y.Z
. This won't change the source defined inconfig-version_variable
. - If set to commit, will get the current version from the source defined in
config-version_variable
, edit the file and commit it. - If set to tag_only, then version_variable is ignored and no changes are made or committed to local config files. The current version from the latest tag matching
vX.Y.Z
. This won't change the source defined inconfig-version_variable
.
Default: commit
Defined the prerelease marker appended to the version when doing a prerelease.
- The format of a prerelease version will be {tag_format}-{prerelease_tag}.<prerelease_number>, e.g. 1.0.0-beta.0 or 1.1.0-beta.1
Default: beta
tag_commit
-------------Whether to create a tag for each new release.
Default: true
If this is set to true, semantic-release will create a new patch release even if there is no tag in any commits since the last release.
Default: false
If this is set to false, semantic-release will create a new minor release instead of major release when current major version is zero.
Quote from Semantic Versioning Specification:
Major version zero (0.y.z) is for initial development. Anything MAY change at any time. The public API SHOULD NOT be considered stable.
If you do not want to bump version to 1.0.0 from 0.y.z automatically, you can set this option to false.
Default: true.
If this command is provided, it will be run prior to the creation of the release commit.
A comma-separated list of files to be included within the release commit. This can include any files created/modified by the pre_commit_command
.
Import path of a Python function that can parse commit messages and return information about the commit as described in commit-log-parsing
.
The following parsers are built in to Python Semantic Release:
:py
semantic_release.history.angular_parser
The default parser, which uses the Angular commit style with the following differences:
- Multiple
BREAKING CHANGE:
paragraphs are supported revert
is not currently supported
- Multiple
:py
semantic_release.history.emoji_parser
Parser for commits using one or more emojis as tags in the subject line.
If a commit contains multiple emojis, the one with the highest priority (major, minor, patch, none) or the one listed first is used as the changelog section for that commit. Commits containing no emojis go into an "Other" section.
See
config-major_emoji
,config-minor_emoji
andconfig-patch_emoji
. The default settings are for Gitmoji.:py
semantic_release.history.tag_parser
The original parser from v1.0.0 of Python Semantic Release. Similar to the emoji parser above, but with less features.
:py
semantic_release.history.scipy_parser
A parser for scipy-style commits with the following differences:
- Beginning a paragraph inside the commit with
BREAKING CHANGE
declares a breaking change. MultipleBREAKING CHANGE
paragraphs are supported. - A scope (following the tag in parentheses) is supported
See
config-scipy-parser
for details.- Beginning a paragraph inside the commit with

.
Comma-separated list of sections to display in the changelog. They will be displayed in the order they are given.
The available options depend on the commit parser used.
Default: feature, fix, breaking, documentation, performance plus all the default emojis for :pysemantic_release.history.emoji_parser

A comma-separated list of the import paths of components to include in the changelog.
The following components are included in Python Semantic Release:
:py
semantic_release.changelog.changelog_headers

List of commits between this version and the previous one, with sections and headings for each type of change present in the release.
:py
semantic_release.changelog.changelog_table

.If you are using a different HVCS, the link will not be included.
It is also possible to create your own components. Each component is simply a function which returns a string, or None
if it should be skipped, and may take any of the following values as keyword arguments:
changelog |
A dictionary with section names such as feature as keys, and the values are lists of (SHA, message) tuples. There is a special section named breaking for breaking changes, where the same commit can appear more than once with a different message. |
changelog_sections |
A list of sections from changelog which the user has set to be displayed. |
version |
The current version number in the format X.X.X , or the new version number when publishing. |
previous_version |
