UI-AUTO-RELEASE(1)

💖 ui-auto-release — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is ui-auto-release(1), a General Commands Manual situation, and it's literally one of the tools in the ui-auto tool box. she's giving ✨release automation✨ and she ate, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ui-auto-release — a tool from the ui-auto tool box. periodt. 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the actual documentation? It lives fully in the usage output via ui-auto-release -H. That's the real one, the main character. This page is just a copy for convenience, okay? 🎀

What she does: Release an ui-auto-enabled project. 💅

⚠️ Notes, and these MATTER bestie: Unless you're in manual checkout mode (-C), always run from the package's top-level source tree. And unless you're in automatic mode (-A), ui-auto-release prints status information and prompts you before doing anything. All modes may be combined arbitrarily. See -P for configuration documentation. 👑

---

🌈 Usage (copy it exactly, she's picky)

Usage: ui-auto-release [-h|-H] -c -C arg -s -S arg -d -D arg -Q arg -A -T arg -f arg -F arg -n -R -K -p -P -I

• -h|-H — Get usage help; short (-h) or complete (-H). like, -h is the vibe check and -H is the whole lore drop 💀
