bufbuild/buf v0.29.0

on GitHub

As we work towards v1.0, we are cleaning up the CLI UX. As part of this, we made the following changes:

• buf image build has been moved to buf build and now accepts images as inputs.
• buf beta image convert has been deleted, as buf build now covers this functionality.
• The -o flag is no longer required for buf build, instead defaulting to the OS equivalent of /dev/null.
• The --source flag on buf build has been deprecated in favor of passing the input as the first argument.
• The --source-config flag on buf build has been moved to --config.
• The --input flag on buf check lint has been deprecated in favor of passing the input as the first argument.
• The --input-config flag on buf check lint has been moved to --config.
• The --input flag on buf check breaking has been deprecated in favor of passing the input as the first argument.
• The --input-config flag on buf check breaking has been moved to --config.
• The --against-input flag on buf check breaking has been moved to --against.
• The --against-input-config flag on buf check breaking has been moved to --against-config.
• The --input flag on buf generate has been deprecated in favor of passing the input as the first argument.
• The --input-config flag on buf generate has been moved to --config.
• The --input flag on buf ls-files has been deprecated in favor of passing the input as the first argument.
• The --input-config flag on buf ls-files has been moved to --config.

We feel these changes make using buf more natural. Examples:

# compile the files in the current directory
buf build
# equivalent to the default no-arg invocation
buf build .
# build the repository at https://github.com/foo/bar.git
buf build https://github.com/foo/bar.git
# lint the files in the proto directory
buf check lint proto
# check the files in the current directory against the files on the master branch for breaking changes
buf check breaking --against .git#branch=master
# check the files in the proto directory against the files in the proto directory on the master branch
buf check breaking proto --against .git#branch=master,subdir=proto

Note that existing commands and flags continue to work. While the deprecation messages will be printed, and we recommend migrating to the new invocations, your existing invocations have no change in functionality.
