Release

pressship release ./my-plugin --slug my-plugin

WordPress.org initial review uses a zip upload. Approved plugin releases use SVN. release keeps the approved-plugin workflow explicit and is equivalent to publish --release.

If svn is missing, Pressship detects your operating system and package manager, then asks before installing Subversion. Use --no-install-svn when you want it to fail with manual install instructions instead.

release will:

1. verify the plugin with readme validation and Plugin Check;
2. checkout or update https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/<slug>;
3. confirm the local version has not already been released as tags/<version>;
4. sync packaged plugin files into trunk/;
5. sync .wordpress-org/ into SVN assets/ when the folder exists;
6. create tags/<version> from trunk;
7. show svn status;
8. ask for confirmation;
9. commit the release with a generated WordPress.org SVN password.

Use --no-verify only when you intentionally want to skip readme validation and Plugin Check before committing to SVN.

If the SVN tag already exists, Pressship stops with a “No version change detected” message. Bump the plugin version before publishing again.

When running from a working copy created by pressship get, Pressship uses trunk/ as the plugin directory and the checkout root as the SVN working copy:

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

SVN Password

Pressship infers the SVN username from the saved WordPress.org login when possible. If no SVN password has been saved yet, it will direct you to:

https://profiles.wordpress.org/<username>/profile/edit/group/3/?screen=svn-password

Generate the password there, paste it into Pressship once, and it will be saved locally at ~/.config/pressship/svn-credentials.json for future release commits.
