It handles tasks like generating changelogs from GitHub pull requests, tracking commits to their originating PRs, validating release metadata from GitHub milestones, and orchestrating the build and upload of release artifacts. The package integrates with GitHub's API (via PyGithub) and uses batched GraphQL queries to efficiently resolve commit-to-PR relationships, reducing API overhead from thousands of REST calls to dozens of queries.\n\nThe tool is designed for release managers coordinating Galaxy releases. It reads release metadata from GitHub milestones (due date, version numbers from neighboring milestones) and supports both legacy setup.cfg and modern PEP 621 pyproject.toml package metadata formats. Recent versions dropped the need for separate release config YAML files, instead deriving dates and versions directly from milestone state. It depends on build, click, python-dateutil, docutils, packaging, PyGithub, requests, and twine to perform its tasks.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are a Galaxy release manager or contributor automating Galaxy releases. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and recent updates (0.4.0\u20130.4.2) show active development addressing PEP 621 migration and GraphQL optimization. However, verify that the CLI interface and GitHub-centric workflow fit your use case, and clarify AFL license compatibility before adopting in a commercial context."},"id":"galaxy-release-util","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/galaxy-release-util","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/galaxy-release-util.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/galaxy-release-util/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"galaxy-release-util","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Utlity for various tasks around creating Galaxy releases"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":90309,"position":13603,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.2"}
