tagsmith targets

Lists configured release targets. Validates config and target paths; does not inspect Git tags, remotes, or remote refs.

Synopsis

tagsmith targets
tagsmith targets --json

Flags

Flag	Description
--json	Emit the parsed config object as JSON.

--github-output and --verbose (with machine output) are not accepted.

Behavior

1. Discover repo.
2. Load and validate config.
3. Validate every configured target path (exists, is a directory, inside repo realpath, unique by realpath).
4. Print results.

Config warnings (e.g. tag pattern warnings) appear on stderr in human mode. Machine mode suppresses warnings.

Output

Human mode

One block per target in config order, separated by a blank line:

web
  path: apps/web
  channels: alpha (prerelease), beta (prerelease, dependsOn: alpha), rc (prerelease, dependsOn: beta), stable (stable, dependsOn: rc)
  tagPattern: {target}@{version}
  tagMessage: Release {target} {version}
  initialVersion: 0.0.0

api
  path: apps/api
  channels: alpha (prerelease), beta (prerelease, dependsOn: alpha), rc (prerelease, dependsOn: beta), stable (stable, dependsOn: rc)
  tagPattern: {target}@{version}
  tagMessage: Release {target} {version}
  initialVersion: 0.0.0

--json mode

Writes the raw parsed config object with original key order preserved. Comments and trailing commas are excluded. $schema is included only if present in the source file. Target-level overrides are included only if present; inherited defaults are not materialized.

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sadiksaifi/tagsmith/refs/heads/main/schema/v1.json",
  "configVersion": 1,
  "git": { "remote": "origin", "baseBranch": "main" },

    "api": {

      ]
    }
  }
}

When to use it

• After editing .tagsmith.jsonc to confirm Tagsmith accepts the new shape.
• In CI pre-checks that don't need to read remote refs.
• To feed the parsed config into other tooling (targets --json | jq ...).
• During setup with AI, as the sanity check after the agent writes the config.

targets is the cheapest sanity check — no remote reads, no tag scans.
