littlefs post-release scripts

This repo contains the post-release scripts for littlefs. When a release is made in littlefs, @geky-bot will trigger a repository_dispatch event on this repo, running any GitHub workflows registered to the event.

This can be used to automate the process of merging new littlefs releases into dependent repos.

These workflows are ran in a separate repo to make it easier to patch the workflowss without needing to merge every change into the littlefs's default branch. (This also avoid chicken-and-egg problems related to releases updating their own workflows.)

Adding your own workflow

Dependency management can be a pain, so feel free to create a PR to add your own dependency update workflow.

The best place to start would be to copy littlefs-fuse's workflow and use that as a starting point. Separate workflows run independently, so if one workflow fails it doesn't risk halting the whole release process. We can also manually run workflows that are registered to the workflow_dispatch event if you ask nicely.

You can find the documentation to GitHub's workflow syntax here.

In addition, there are a couple of GitHub secrets to help create PRs:

• BOT_TOKEN - This is a personal access token (PAT) for @geky-bot

  Note that you probably want to use this over GitHub's GITHUB_TOKEN because GITHUB_TOKEN does not trigger other workflows. This has the odd effect of causing CI to not run on any generated PRs.

• BOT_USER - The bot's GitHub username, i.e. geky-bot

• BOT_EMAIL - An email to use for Git commits, i.e bot@geky.net (not a real email)
