semantic-release: Detailed Overview & Metrics

v24.0.0(about 2 months ago)

Semantic-release is a tool for automating the versioning and release process of npm packages. It follows the principles of semantic versioning and automates the release workflow based on commit messages. By analyzing the commit history, semantic-release determines the next version number, generates release notes, and publishes the package to npm or other package registries.

Compared to manual versioning and release processes, semantic-release ensures consistent versioning, eliminates human error, and enforces best practices. It is actively maintained and widely adopted in the open-source community for its reliability and efficiency.
