# YTSage CI/CD Workflow
|
|
|
|
This repository uses GitHub Actions to automatically build and release YTSage for multiple platforms when version tags are pushed.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
### Trigger
|
|
The workflow is triggered when you push a git tag that starts with `v` (e.g., `v4.8.0`, `v4.9.1`).
|
|
|
|
### Build Process
|
|
1. **Setup**: Uses Python 3.13.6 on all platforms
|
|
2. **Builds**: Creates platform-specific executables using cx_Freeze
|
|
3. **Packages**: Generates native package formats for each platform
|
|
4. **Release**: Creates a draft GitHub release with all artifacts
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Creating a Release
|
|
|
|
1. **Update version** in your source code if needed
|
|
2. **Commit your changes**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git add .
|
|
git commit -m "Release v4.8.0"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Create and push a tag**:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git tag v4.8.0
|
|
git push origin v4.8.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. **Watch the action**: Go to Actions tab in GitHub to monitor progress
|
|
|
|
5. **Review draft release**: Once complete, check the Releases section for the draft
|
|
|
|
### Release Artifacts
|
|
|
|
The workflow creates the following files based on the platform:
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
- `YTSage-v{version}-portable.zip` - Standard portable version
|
|
- `YTSage-v{version}-ffmpeg-portable.zip` - FFmpeg bundle portable
|
|
|
|
#### Linux
|
|
- `YTSage-v{version}-{arch}.AppImage` - AppImage portable
|
|
- `YTSage-v{version}-{arch}.rpm` - RPM package
|
|
- `YTSage-v{version}-{arch}.deb` - Debian package
|
|
|
|
#### macOS
|
|
- `YTSage-v{version}-{arch}.app.zip` - Zipped application bundle
|
|
- `YTSage-v{version}-{arch}.dmg` - Disk image installer
|
|
|
|
## Workflow Features
|
|
|
|
### Multi-Platform Support
|
|
- **Windows**: Uses PowerShell scripts with cx_Freeze
|
|
- **Linux**: Uses Bash scripts with cx_Freeze, creates AppImage, RPM, and DEB
|
|
- **macOS**: Matrix build for both Intel (x64) and Apple Silicon (arm64)
|
|
|
|
### Automatic Version Detection
|
|
- Extracts version from git tag (removes 'v' prefix)
|
|
- Names all artifacts consistently across platforms
|
|
|
|
### Caching
|
|
- Python dependencies are cached to speed up builds
|
|
- Virtual environment is cached between runs
|
|
|
|
### Error Handling
|
|
- Comprehensive error checking at each step
|
|
- Detailed logging for troubleshooting
|
|
- Artifact verification before upload
|
|
|
|
### Security
|
|
- Uses official GitHub Actions
|
|
- No external dependencies
|
|
- Secure token handling
|
|
|
|
## Manual Intervention
|
|
|
|
### After Workflow Completion
|
|
1. **Review the draft release** in GitHub
|
|
2. **Test the artifacts** if needed
|
|
3. **Edit release notes** if desired
|
|
4. **Publish the release** when ready
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting
|
|
If the workflow fails:
|
|
1. Check the Actions logs for error details
|
|
2. Ensure all required files are present
|
|
3. Verify the tag format is correct (`v*`)
|
|
4. Check that dependencies are properly listed
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Modifying the Workflow
|
|
The workflow files are located in `.github/workflows/`:
|
|
- `build-windows.yml` - Windows builds
|
|
- `build-linux.yml` - Linux builds
|
|
- `build-macos.yml` - macOS builds
|
|
|
|
### Key Configuration Options
|
|
- `PYTHON_VERSION`: Python version (currently 3.13.6)
|
|
- Artifact naming patterns
|
|
- Release note templates
|
|
- Build optimization settings
|
|
|
|
### Adding New Build Types
|
|
To add new platform packages:
|
|
1. Create or modify workflow files in `.github/workflows/`
|
|
2. Target the appropriate OS runner (windows-latest, ubuntu-latest, macos-latest)
|
|
3. Use cx_Freeze or PyInstaller for packaging
|
|
4. Package the build output in platform-native formats
|
|
5. Upload the artifacts and include them in the release
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- All builds use cx_Freeze for packaging
|
|
- FFmpeg binaries are bundled where needed
|
|
- Screenshots are removed from builds to reduce size
|
|
- Draft releases allow for review before publication
|
|
- macOS builds run on both Intel and Apple Silicon runners
|
|
|
|
## Example Tag Commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# For a new release
|
|
git tag v4.8.0
|
|
git push origin v4.8.0
|
|
|
|
# For a patch release
|
|
git tag v4.8.2
|
|
git push origin v4.8.2
|
|
|
|
# To delete a tag (if needed)
|
|
git tag -d v4.8.0
|
|
git push origin :refs/tags/v4.8.0
|
|
```
