dendrochronologist

A CLI for versioning and publishing npm packages in a monorepo.

Dendrochronology is the scientific method of dating tree rings to the exact year they were formed. dendrochronologist is a tool laser-focused on determining the version(s) for monorepo packages (aka workspaces) and publishing them to the registry. Because git uses "tree" metaphors liberally, the naming pun could not be resisted.

Install

npm install --save-dev dendrochronologist

You can install it globally, but for the sake of consistency, it is best to install it locally in your workspace root manifest.

Usage

From the command line:

npx dendrochronologist

From root manifest scripts (preferred):

{
  "scripts": {
    "release": "dendrochronologist"
  }
}
