The homebridge-beta-bot workflow now supports configurable release streams through a new optional release_stream parameter. This allows the bot to handle both beta and alpha releases while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Changes Made

New Input Parameter:

  • Added release_stream parameter with default value 'beta'
  • Supports 'alpha' as an alternative option
  • Maintains 100% backward compatibility with existing workflows

Dynamic Stream Handling:

  • Workflow and job names now use the specified release stream
  • Branch naming follows pattern: update/{stream}-{timestamp}
  • PR titles use uppercase stream prefix (e.g., "ALPHA:" or "BETA:")
  • PR labels automatically use the stream name
  • Commit messages reference the appropriate stream

Usage

Existing usage (unchanged):

uses: homebridge/.github/.github/workflows/homebridge-beta-bot.yml@latest
with:
  config_file: '.github/homebridge-beta-bot.json'
# Defaults to release_stream: 'beta'

New alpha stream usage:

uses: homebridge/.github/.github/workflows/homebridge-beta-bot.yml@latest
with:
  config_file: '.github/homebridge-alpha-bot.json'
  release_stream: 'alpha'

The implementation ensures that repositories can now maintain separate alpha and beta dependency update workflows with appropriate labeling and organization.

Fixes #31.
