Advanced Installation and Usage
github-release-from-changelog is fully integrated in npmpub. Please follow the instructions at https://github.com/MoOx/npmpub#install to install and use it. npmpub automatically calls github-release-from-changelog by default.
github-release-from-changelog also plays well with other publishing tools such as release-it.
One can create a release using release-it (which also updates package.json
, but does not free you from maintaining CHANGELOG.md
for yourself) and then use github-release-from-changelog to create the release on GitHub.
