release

Automate version bumping and Git tagging by specifying a patch, minor, major, or explicit version to initiate the release workflow, which computes the new version, updates package.json, and performs the commit and tag operations.

The best way to prepare a new package release is using an automated workflow that analyzes commits since the latest tag, bumps the version in package.json, verifies the build, and handles the Git commit and push.

Automated release management identifies the version to publish by reading the latest Git tag, analyzing subsequent commits, and computing the new version based on your specified patch, minor, major, or explicit version bump level.

Yes, the release workflow runs build and quality checks to verify the release before it prepares the commit, tag, and push steps, ensuring the tagged version is stable.

Yes, you can specify an explicit version number instead of relying on automated patch, minor, or major bumps to initiate the end-to-end release workflow and update package.json accordingly.

You need an end-to-end release workflow when preparing a new release containing version bumps, as it reduces human error during build verification, package.json updates, and Git tagging operations.
