Continuing the legacy of Vanced
Template repository for ReVanced Patches.
This is a template to create a new ReVanced Patches repository.
The repository can have multiple patches, and patches from other repositories can be used together.
For an example repository, see ReVanced Patches.
To start using this template, follow these steps:
- Create a new repository using this template
- Set up the build.gradle.kts file (Specifically, the group of the project, and the About)
- Update dependencies in the libs.versions.toml file
- Create a pass-phrased GPG master key and subkey
- Add the private key as a secret named GPG_PRIVATE_KEY to your repository
- Add the passphrase as a secret named GPG_PASSPHRASE to your repository
- Add the fingerprint of the GPG subkey as a secret named GPG_FINGERPRINT to your repository
- Create a PAT with push access
- Add it as a secret named REPOSITORY_PUSH_ACCESS to your repository
- Set up the README.md file1 (e.g, title, description, license, summary of the patches that are included in the repository), the issue templates2 and the contribution guidelines3
🎉 You are now ready to start creating patches!
You can also add the following things to the repository:
- API documentation, if you want to publish your patches as a library
To develop and release ReVanced Patches using this template, some things need to be considered:
- Development starts in feature branches. Once a feature branch is ready, it is squashed and merged into the
dev
branch - The
dev
branch is merged into themain
branch once it is ready for release - Semantic versioning is used to version ReVanced Patches. ReVanced Patches have a public API for other patches to use
- Semantic commit messages are used for commits
- Commits on the
dev
branch andmain
branch are automatically released via the release.yml workflow, which is also responsible for generating the changelog and updating the version of ReVanced Patches. It is triggered by pushing to thedev
ormain
branch. The workflow uses thepublish
task to publish the release of ReVanced Patches - The
buildAndroid
task is used to build ReVanced Patches so that it can be used on Android. Thepublish
task depends on thebuildAndroid
task, so it will be run automatically when publishing a release.
