Usage

Using sbt run the following in a terminal:

sbt --sbt-version 1.5.5 new alexandru/typelevel-library.g8

Configuration of Automatic Releases to Sonatype

The created project already has workflows defined for building and releasing the library on Sonatype via GitHub Actions. For automated releases to work, you need to configure:

• GH_TOKEN — for automatically publishing the documentation microsite with the repo scope:
  • see GitHub's documentation
  • Quick link (click here)
• For publishing to Sonatype:
  • PGP_PASSPHRASE
  • PGP_SECRET
  • SONATYPE_USERNAME
  • SONATYPE_PASSWORD
  • See documentation at sbt-ci-release for generating these

To publish the website to GitHub Pages, it is recommended that you first create the gh-pages branch:

git checkout --orphan gh-pages
git rm --cached -r .
touch index.html && git add index.html
git commit -am 'Initial commit'
git push --set-upstream origin gh-pages
git add .
git reset --hard HEAD
git checkout main

Sample Project

See sample library generated out of the box:

• github repository
• documentation website
• maven central artifacts (published via CI)

Features

• Build setup for multiple sub-projects
• Sane Scala compiler defaults for doing FP (including kind-projector and better-monadic-for)
• Continuous integration via GitHub Actions
  • With automated publishing to Sonatype!
• Usual contributing, code of conduct, license boilerplate
• Scala.js cross-compilation
• sbt-crossproject for managing the JVM / JS configuration
• sbt-unidoc for unifying the API documentation of the sub-projects
• sbt-doctest for testing the ScalaDoc
• sbt-microsites for building the documentation website, type checked via mdoc
• sbt-header for automatic copyright headers
• sbt-scalafmt default setup for auto-formatting
• sbt-tpolecat for sane Scalac compiler options with most linter options on
• sbt-ci-release for managing the versioning and the release to Sonatype
  • sbt-git setup for version management based on Git tags and SHAs
  • sbt-dynver a ready-made setup of sbt-git options for dynamic version management
  • sbt-sonatype for faster and easier releases
• sbt-scoverage for code coverage with sane setup
• ...
