Thank-you very much for this Arjan, really useful. If possible could you do a video on a sensible devops approach to binary releases for Windows, MacOS, Linux with code signing? (eg. python gui app)

Thank you. Requested this ages ago and great to see

I switched from poetry to uv. Have you tried it for your projects?

[MSSMusChaos]

Just needed to publish an internal package to our Nexus server. Thank you so much :D

[jakobb]

Amazing. Just what I needed for my Python projects on GitHub. Dank je wel!

Great guide! I recently started using Commitizen for release management in my projects. It automatically determines the next version number and generates a changelog based on the commit history. Do you have experience with tools like this? I'd love to hear your thoughts on them!

[EquiliMario]

This is great. I always struggle with GitHub Action syntax. Is there a guide for this?

Arjan this is exactly what I'm working on right now, couldn't have come at a better time. The Bragir project repo answered for me exactly my question: how are you bumping your pyproject.toml file during release, but I see you have a special commit and auto-PR process to do that.

Thank you!!

Can you please show how to ship projects using uv & github actions via building simple package along with testing?

[JorgeEscobarMX]

Third time I re-watch. Github actions and yaml are new to me. What file and dir structure do I need to put my code to make this work? 14:14 I see a src/ and a moneysnake/ what's inside those? Where does the package py files go?

@arjancodes shouldn't you escape the dots in tags regexes? Now it would match 123a2b00

You mentioned homebrew but I'd also like to see nix.
