Semantic release management

Requirements

• create an application auth token to tag on gitlab.com
• create an application auth token to upload on npmjs.org

Testing release configuration locally

Set up NPM project in docker environment:

$ docker run --rm -v $PWD:/code -it node /bin/bash
# cd /code

Create new app:

# echo 'console.log("Hello world");' > index.js
# npm init -y

# npm -s start
Hello world

# npm -s test
All good

Install program and plugins:

# npm install -g semantic-release @semantic-release/gitlab

Set gitlab and npm registry configurations:

# export GL_TOKEN=<token>
# export GL_URL=https://gitlab.com
# export NPM_TOKEN=<token>

Run in dry-run mode:

# semantic-release -p @semantic-release/commit-analyzer,@semantic-release/release-notes-generator,@semantic-release/gitlab,@semantic-release/npm -b master -d
