Question about codecov-cli release process and lack of changelog

[nikosatwork]

Hi Codecov team,

We've noticed that while new versions of the codecov-cli package are being published to PyPI (currently at v11.0.3), the official GitHub repository's releases and tags appear to stop at v10.0.4 from several months ago.

This makes it difficult for our team to understand what changes are included in each new release. Without an updated CHANGELOG.md file or corresponding GitHub Releases, we can't track bug fixes, new features, or potential breaking changes. This visibility is crucial for deciding when to upgrade and ensuring the stability of our CI environment.

Could you please clarify if github.com/codecov/codecov-cli is still the correct source repository? We'd also appreciate it if you could share any details on the current release workflow and whether there are plans to resume publishing changelogs or release notes.

Thanks for your help!

I see there is a new repository at https://github.com/getsentry/prevent-cli

So this makes sense now. Would you be able to share a few more details for the transition (and update relevant documentation that links to the codecov-cli repo)? Thank you.

Thanks for raising this. You're right that the changelogs and GitHub releases for codecov-cli haven't been kept up to date. That’s because the source of truth for the CLI has changed — the Codecov CLI is now maintained and published as a sub-package within the getsentry/prevent-cli repository.

So to clarify:

1. codecov-cli is no longer maintained in the old codecov/codecov-cli repo.
2. Both codecov-cli and prevent-cli are currently built from the same codebase within prevent-cli. They're effectively two faces of the same tool, with different entry points and packaging for now.

Future updates, bug fixes, and features will appear in the prevent-cli repo — which means changelogs, version tags, and release notes will also be centralized there going forward.

We're working on updating the documentation and links that still point to the older codecov-cli repository to reflect this transition more clearly.

Let us know if you have further questions — and thanks again for the helpful nudge!
