FAQPage Schema

How do I automate semantic-release versioning and changelogs in a monorepo?▼

To automate semantic-release versioning in a monorepo, you need a .releaserc.json configuration and conventional commit messages. The workflow triggers on main branch pushes, automatically standardizing version bumps and generating changelogs across all packages.

What is needed to trigger automatic version bumps across multi-package repositories?▼

Triggering automatic version bumps across multi-package repositories requires proper conventional-commits messages and pushes to the main branch. This setup ensures semantic-release accurately evaluates commit history to produce tags, release notes, and GitHub releases.

Does semantic-release work with conventional commits for GitHub release generation?▼

Yes, semantic-release works directly with conventional commits to drive GitHub release generation. It validates branch readiness, automatically updates your CHANGELOG.md, and creates GitHub releases with notes based on the commit message history.

Can I do a manual emergency release if the automated CI workflow fails?▼

Yes, you can perform an emergency manual release when needed. While the standard process validates branches and CI readiness to automate releases on main branch pushes, the workflow supports manual interventions for urgent deployment scenarios.

Why are my monorepo package versions not updating automatically?▼

Monorepo package versions fail to update automatically if conventional-commits messages are improperly formatted or the .releaserc.json configuration is missing. Accurate semantic-release processing strictly relies on these commit conventions to calculate and apply version bumps.
