Frequently Asked Questions about version-release

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate GitHub release creation and version bumping after a PR merge?▼

Automated release management matches specific commit titles from PR merges into the main branch to trigger version bumping in package.json and create GitHub Releases and tags automatically.

What is the best way to manage software lifecycle releases using Git version tags?▼

Software lifecycle release management uses Git version tags and GitHub Release APIs to orchestrate version bumping, tag creation, and post-release automation, eliminating manual release processes.

Can I customize the release workflow for different types of updates like hotfixes or minor releases?▼

The release workflow is configurable to support minor, patch, hotfix, and model release types, each with specific workflow configurations matched to specific commit titles for release purposes.

How does CI/CD pipeline integration work with automated release management?▼

CI/CD pipeline integration automates the release workflow by triggering version bumps, creating GitHub Releases and tags, syncing canary branches, and initiating post-release automated actions.

Do I need companion skills to handle release notes and text formatting?▼

The release workflow requires companion skills: 'microcopy' for text handling and 'release-notes-style' for standardizing release note formats to ensure consistent outputs.

Are there limitations when triggering automated releases based on commit titles?▼

Automated triggering relies on matching specific commit titles from PR merges into the main branch; commits without matching titles will not initiate the version bump or release creation workflow.
