Automate release process

[netbe]

• define what to do exactly on that issue
• add CI checks / tests (if needed)
• add CI build on release tag (is it the right way🤷‍♂️)

Can you elaborate more on define what to do exactly on that issue ? What do you mean?

Thanks for moving the repo here btw ❤️

@blender yeah of course.

I thought it was better to move it here instead of adding you as collaborator on that repo.

My first thoughts:

Scenario:

• one makes a change with a PR
• tests are run on PR
• once reviewed and tests passed, one can merge the PR
• To release, one can go to release https://github.com/OpenShelter/fastlane-plugin-rome/releases, draft the release. This will tag the version (this means the version will be changed beforehand in code, or is there another way to do it?)
• The CI sees the tag and proceeds with release doing a rake release to rubygems.

So basically we only need to setup travis, I'm I right?

Afaik you have to change the version for the release manually prior to running rake release

[netbe]

yes that's right. That's the setup I have on my other repo, maybe this will suffice:
https://github.com/netbe/Babelish/blob/master/.travis.yml

I think it will.

As for the automated release I don't think that's possible. I did some googling but didn't find much.
