Rake::GemMaintenance

Reusable Rake tasks for gem maintenance: dependency upgrades and version bumps.

Add to your Gemfile:

gem "rake-gem-maintenance"

Add to your Rakefile for default behavior:

require "rake/gem_maintenance/install_tasks"

This defines:

• upgrade / upgrade:auto — full upgrade pipeline (branch, update, verify, commit, bump, release, push)
• upgrade:branch — create upgrade branch
• upgrade:gems — update rubygems, bundler, and all gems
• upgrade:commit — commit upgraded Gemfile/Gemfile.lock
• upgrade:push — push upgrade branch
• version:bump[type] — bump version (patch/minor/major) and update Gemfile.lock
• bump[type] — alias for version:bump

require "rake/gem_maintenance"

Rake::GemMaintenance::UpgradeTask.new do |t|
  t.main_branch = "develop"
  t.upgrade_branch = "chore/upgrade-deps"
  t.commit_message = "chore: upgrade dependencies"
end

Rake::GemMaintenance::VersionBumpTask.new do |t|
  t.default_type = "minor"
end
