rls - minimalistic release

It's never been easier to release a new version of your package.

What's it good for?

Helps you to release new versions of your package.

• Updates your package.json
• Creates a new git tag

And helps you counting in semantic versions.

Installation

$ npm install -g rls

Usage

Release a new patch version, e.g. 1.2.3 -> 1.2.4

$ rls

Release new feature version, e.g. 1.2.3 -> 1.3.0

$ rls --minor

Release new major version, e.g. 1.2.3 -> 2.0.0

$ rls --major

Uncertain what will happen? Use the --dry-run flag to get a preview of the changes without anything being changed:

$ rls <other flags...> --dry-run

• ember has a nice release command, https://github.com/lytics/ember-cli-release
• zeit/release is the same, with just a lot of changelog management on top, https://github.com/zeit/release
