@marianmeres/release

Just a little helper script to automate package version bump fitting my needs. Basically a wrapper of npm version, git add, git commit and git tag.

If specified, npm version is executed over multiple sub dirs.

The script will prompt you for confirmation, unless called with --yes arg.

The workflow

1. do work
2. commit
3. call npx release [-v major|minor|patch|x.y.z] (default is patch)
4. confirm version change
5. git push && git push origin vX.Y.Z manually

Todo

• Automate point 5. from the above as well (after prompt confirmation)

Install and execute

# install
npm i -D @marianmeres/release

# and execute as node script directly
node ./node_modules/@marianmeres/release/release.js

# or as npm executable, via npx
npx @marianmeres/release
# or, if already installed, just
npx release

# to execute as package.json script, add to your package.json:
# ...
#  "scripts": {
#   ...
    "release": "release" # add args as needed
#  }
# ...
# and then run
npm run release

Single dir mode

# Will +1 increase "patch" segment of current version (major.minor.patch).
# Current version is read from ./package.json
npx release

# Will set version and tag to "v1.2.3" regardless of current
npx release -v v1.2.3

Multiple dirs mode

With multiple dirs, always the {cwd}/package.json is read as the significant one to be bumped. All other dirs (specified via -d) are then synced accordingly.
