Generic

Use this releaser if no specific releaser is available.

The generic releaser does not support all features.

The following features are not available when the generic Git releaser is configured:

packaging tools: Homebrew, Chocolatey, JBang, Scoop, Snap.
announcers: Sdkman.
auto-config is not supported.

Only the release tag will be created. If you’d like to upload artifacts to a particular destination then configure an uploader.

Changelog

You may define either content or contentTemplate, with the latter taking precedence over the former.

Changelog format applies only to the automatically generated changelog, that is, formatting wo’t occur if the external property is set. Format applies only to local commits at the moment, the use of labelers is highly encouraged.

The change property only accepts the following name templates:

Key	Description
commitShortHash	head commit hash abbreviated to 7 characters
commitFullHash	head commit hash
commitTitle	first line of the commit message
commitAuthor	full name of the commit author
commitsUrl	commits URl as provided by the Git host

commitShortHash

head commit hash abbreviated to 7 characters

commitFullHash

commitTitle

The content and contentTemplate accept all Name Templates, take special consideration on {{changelogChanges}} and {{changelogContributors}} as they define the parsed commits.

Git Remote

JReleaser asumes the default Git remote to be named origin however not everyone uses that name. Should you need to use a different name you may define an environment variable named JRELEASER_DEFAULT_GIT_REMOTE whose value is the name of the remote.

You must use an environment variable, can not use external properties as explained in Environment.
