semantic-release

semantic-release automates the entire package release workflow, including determining the next version number, generating release notes, and publishing the package. It strictly adheres to the Semantic Versioning specification, ensuring that the impact of changes is clearly communicated to consumers and removing human emotion from versioning decisions. This tool is ideal for development teams and open-source projects that want to streamline their release process, enforce consistent versioning, and integrate seamlessly with their Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines. By formalizing commit message conventions, semantic-release automatically generates changelogs and publishes releases, making new features and fixes immediately available to users while avoiding manual errors. It supports various package managers and languages through a robust plugin system, offering simple and reusable configurations.
