feature/rebrand-to-llmx - 4 commits ready:
- Binary: Built and tested ✅
- LiteLLM integration: Working ✅
Recommended Strategy
Step 1: Backup Original Main Branch
# Create a backup tag/branch of original Llmx code
git checkout main
git tag original-llmx-backup
git push origin original-llmx-backup
# Or create a branch
git branch original-llmx-main
git push origin original-llmx-main
Step 2: Merge to Main
git checkout main
git merge feature/rebrand-to-llmx
git push origin main
Step 3: Create Release Tag
git tag -a v0.1.0 -m "Initial LLMX release with LiteLLM integration
- Complete rebrand from Llmx to LLMX
- LiteLLM provider support (Chat Completions API)
- Default model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514
- Built-in support for multiple LLM providers via LiteLLM
"
git push origin v0.1.0
Step 4: Build for NPM Release
The project has npm packaging scripts in llmx-cli/scripts/:
build_npm_package.py- Builds the npm packageinstall_native_deps.py- Installs native binaries
# Build the npm package
cd llmx-cli
python3 scripts/build_npm_package.py
# Test locally
npm pack
# Publish to npm (requires npm login)
npm login
npm publish --access public
Step 5: Update Package Metadata
Before publishing, update:
-
package.json version:
{ "name": "@llmx/llmx", "version": "0.1.0", "description": "LLMX - AI coding assistant with LiteLLM integration" } -
README.md - Update installation instructions:
npm install -g @llmx/llmx
Alternative: Separate Repository
If you want to keep original Llmx intact:
- Fork to new repo:
valknar/llmx(separate fromvalknar/llmx) - Push all changes there
- Publish from the new repo
