Publish

pressship publish ./my-plugin

publish is the modernized happy path for WordPress.org plugins. It discovers the plugin and chooses the best publishing flow:

• use release when running inside a WordPress.org SVN checkout from pressship get;
• use submit when a matching WordPress.org review submission is pending or reuploadable;
• use release when the plugin has an approved WordPress.org SVN repository and no pending review submission is found;
• ask whether to submit or release when Pressship cannot confidently choose.

Options

pressship publish ./my-plugin --dry-run
pressship publish ./my-plugin --submit
pressship publish ./my-plugin --release --username WpOrgUser
pressship publish ./my-plugin --no-verify
pressship publish ./my-plugin --skip-plugin-check
pressship publish ./my-plugin --skip-readme-validator
pressship publish ./my-plugin --wp-path /path/to/wordpress
pressship publish ./my-plugin --ignore "assets/**/*.mp4"
pressship publish ./my-plugin --yes
pressship publish ./my-plugin --release --no-install-svn

Use --submit for review upload and --release for approved-plugin SVN release when you want to force the route.

Before uploading or committing an SVN release, publish verifies the plugin with readme validation and Plugin Check. Use --no-verify only when you intentionally want to bypass both checks.

From an SVN checkout root, Pressship treats trunk/ as the plugin directory:

pressship get my-plugin ./my-plugin
cd ./my-plugin
pressship version patch
pressship publish

For SVN releases, Pressship can infer the username from the saved WordPress.org login. On the first real release commit, it will ask for a generated WordPress.org SVN password and save it locally for later releases.

When the selected release version already exists in SVN as tags/<version>, Pressship stops with a “No version change detected” message. Bump the plugin version before publishing again.

If svn is missing during a release, Pressship can detect your operating system and ask before installing Subversion. Use --no-install-svn to skip that helper.
