  "github_readme_excerpt": "# cargo release\n\n\u003e Streamline your crate release process\n\n`cargo release` extends `cargo publish` with common release practices like\nvalidation, version management, tagging, and pushing.\nThe process is customizable but with defaults that should help you get up and running quickly.\n\nFeatures include:\n- Ensure you are in a good state for release, including:\n  - Right branch\n  - Up-to-date with remote\n  - Clean tree\n- Supports workspaces using cargo\u0027s native flags, like `--workspace`, `--exclude` and `--package`\n  - Updates dependent crates in workspace when changing version\n  - Change detection to help guide in what crates might not need a release\n  - Optionally share commits\n- Handles `cargo publish`, tagging, and pushing\n- Pre-release search and replace for custom version updates, including\n  - [Updating changelogs](docs/faq.md#maintaining-changelog)\n  - Update tags in `Dockerfile`s\n- Pre-release hook for extra customization, including\n  - [CHANGELOG generation](docs/faq.md#maintaining-changelog)\n\n## Install\n\nCurrent release: 1.1.2\n\n```console,ignore\n$ cargo install cargo-release\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```console,ignore\n$ cargo release [level]\n\u003cdry-run output\u003e\n$ cargo release [level] --execute\n```\n\n* See the [reference](docs/reference.md) for more on `level`, other CLI\n  arguments, and configuration file format.\n* See also the [FAQ](docs/faq.md) for help in figuring out how to adapt\n  cargo-release to your workflow.\n\n### Prerequisite\n\n* Your project should be managed by git.\n\n### Dry run\n\nBy default, `cargo-release` runs in dry-run mode so you can safely run it and\nverify what it will do.\n- Increase the logging level with each additional `-v` to get more details\n- Speed up dry-run by skipping `cargo-publish`s verify step with `--no-verify`\n\nOnce you are ready, pass the `--execute` flag.\n\n*Note:* the packaging and verifying steps will list the current version and not\nthe bumped version because `cargo release` delegates to `cargo publish` which\ndoes not know about the in-memo",
