Note
This plugin enables kill and yank in the editor, but does not enable kill and yank in the title.

Development
This project uses pnpm. The required version is pinned in the packageManager field of package.json and in mise.toml.
Setup
pnpm install
Format
pnpm format:check
pnpm format:fix
Lint
pnpm lint
pnpm lint:fix
Build
pnpm build
Release
main is protected and only accepts changes through a pull request, so the version bump goes through one as well. The release tag is created afterwards, on the merge commit.
Create a branch:
git switch --create bump-up-to-1.3.0
Bump the version:
pnpm version minor --no-git-tag-version
patch, minor, major and an explicit version number such as 1.3.0 are all accepted.
This runs version-bump.mjs through the version lifecycle script, which writes the new version into manifest.json and versions.json. --no-git-tag-version skips the commit and the tag that pnpm version would otherwise create, because the tag has to point at the merge commit on main.
Commit the change and open a pull request:
git add manifest.json versions.json package.json
git commit --message "1.3.0"
git push --set-upstream origin bump-up-to-1.3.0
gh pr create --title "1.3.0" --body "" --assignee "@me"
Merge the pull request with a merge commit once CI passes. Do not squash it, so that the history stays accurate.
Tag the merge commit on main and push the tag to trigger the release workflow:
git switch main
git pull
git tag --annotate 1.3.0 --message "1.3.0"
git push origin 1.3.0
The tag must match the version in manifest.json exactly, with no v prefix. Both the release workflow and the Obsidian community plugin flow rely on this.
The workflow publishes the release straight away, without a draft step. Anyone who installed the plugin from the community plugin list receives the update as soon as it is published.
