It is useful for managing package files such as conanfile.py, conanmanifest.txt, or conaninfo.txt within a Conan package version, allowing automation of package file management in CI/CD pipelines or package repositories.

Use Case Examples

  1. Uploading a new conaninfo.txt file for a specific Conan package version to GitLab.
  2. Updating the conanfile.py of a Conan package to reflect changes in the build recipe.
