semantic-release-monorepo

semantic-release-monorepo

Apply semantic-release's automatic publishing to a monorepo.

Why

The default configuration of semantic-release assumes a one-to-one relationship between a Github repository and an npm package.

This plugin allows using semantic-release with a single Github repository containing many npm packages.

How

Rather than attributing all commits to a single package, this plugin will automatically assign commits to packages based on the files that a commit touched.

If a commit touched a file within a package's root, it will be considered for that package's next release. Yes, this means a single commit could belong to multiple packages

A push may release multiple package versions. In order to avoid version collisions, git tags are namespaced using the given package's name.

Configuration

This package is a complement to semantic-release. It is assumed the user is already fully familiar with that package and its workflow.

Install

npm install -D semantic-release-monorepo

Usage

In package.json:

    "analyzeCommits": "semantic-release-monorepo",
