semantic-release

semantic-release automates the whole package release workflow including: determining the next version number, generating the release notes, and publishing the package.

This removes the immediate connection between human emotions and version numbers, strictly following the Semantic Versioning specification and communicating the impact of changes to consumers.

Highlights

• Fully automated release
• Enforce Semantic Versioning specification
• New features and fixes are immediately available to users
• Notify maintainers and users of new releases
• Use formalized commit message convention to document changes in the codebase
• Publish on different distribution channels (such as npm dist-tags) based on git merges
• Integrate with your continuous integration workflow
• Avoid potential errors associated with manual releases
• Support any package managers and languages via plugins
• Simple and reusable configuration via shareable configurations
