What prerequisites are needed to run this skill?

You need Git Flow installed, Python 3.8+ for the version update script, and you must run the gitflow-prerequisites skill first to ensure your environment is ready.

Does this skill push changes to my remote repository?

No, this skill only performs local git operations. It creates a local branch and a local commit; you must use the gitflow-release-publish skill to push changes and open PRs.

Can I use version formats like 'v1.0'?

No, the skill enforces a strict N.N.N format (e.g., 1.53.0) to ensure compatibility with the Azure pipeline versioning keys.

What happens if my pipeline file is named differently?

The skill automatically checks for four common variants: azure-pipelines.yaml, azure-pipelines.yml, azure-pipeline.yaml, and azure-pipeline.yml. If none are found, it will prompt you for the correct directory.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the initialization of Git Flow release branches and synchronizes versioning metadata in Azure pipeline configurations.

This skill streamlines the Enterspeed release process by automating the creation of release branches and the synchronization of versioning data. It performs environment-ready checks, validates semantic versioning formats, and pulls the latest changes from master and develop branches. Using a specialized Python script, it automatically updates version keys within Azure pipeline YAML files and creates a local commit, ensuring that your CI/CD configuration stays perfectly aligned with your release cycle without manual editing errors.
