[0.3.0] - 2025-01-XX

Added

• Enhanced error handling with detailed error messages showing exit codes and command output
• --show-errors flag for hostinger:deploy command to display verbose error information
• Automatic Git host key verification: Automatically adds Git repository host (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) to known_hosts to prevent interactive prompts during first-time cloning
• Support for all Git hosting providers: Extracts hostname from repository URL automatically (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.)

Improved

• Error messages now include exit codes, error output (stderr), and regular output (stdout) from failed SSH commands
• Deployment failures now provide actionable debugging information instead of generic error messages
• Fixed first-time repository cloning issue where SSH would prompt for host key verification
• Better error visibility: Errors with detailed information are automatically shown even without the --show-errors flag

Documentation

• Added requirement documentation for PHP exec() function in README
• Added SSH public key authentication setup recommendations and instructions
• Moved environment variables section to the top of README for better visibility
• Enhanced README with clearer setup instructions and security best practices

Fixed

• Fixed deployment failure on first-time git clone due to host key verification prompt
• Improved error reporting when deployment commands fail with non-zero exit codes

[0.2.0] - 2025-10-31

Added

• Automatic npm build support: hostinger:deploy now automatically detects package.json and builds frontend assets locally before deployment
• Built asset copying: Automatically copies public/build/ directory to the remote server using rsync after deployment
• GitHub Actions workflow enhancements:
  • SSH key installation step for secure authentication
  • Automatic copying of built frontend assets to the remote server
  • Support for projects with npm/frontend build requirements

Changed

• Refactored all commands to extend BaseHostingerCommand base class for better code organization and DRY principles
• Renamed hostinger:deploy-shared to hostinger:deploy (simpler, more intuitive name)
• Renamed hostinger:setup-automated-deploy to hostinger:setup-cicd (more accurate terminology)
• Renamed hostinger:deploy-and-setup-automated to hostinger:deploy-and-setup-cicd (consistent naming)

Improved

• Reduced code duplication by extracting common methods into BaseHostingerCommand
• Improved maintainability - changes to shared logic now only need to be made once
• Better code organization with centralized configuration validation, SSH setup, and GitHub API initialization
• Frontend assets are now built locally (no npm required on shared hosting servers)
