Github-publish-release NPM

github-publish-release

NOTE: This repo is manually released for now.

Tools aimed to simplify release publishing on github. It gets latest release available and builds a list of pull requests that were merged thereafter. As a result you get a nicely looking release notes:

initial version #1 (by @runk)
fix path, update readme #2 (by @runk)

Configuration

To use this tool you need to generate personal access token with repo access (see help article for details), then configure environment variable GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN with this token. That's it. NOTE: Github's token UI is misleading, the repo checkbox is different to ticking all the nested checkboxes; theres extra permissions you can't grant granularly.

Expected release flow

Make a commit with message including major, minor or patch. git commit -a -m '[major]: Do some breaking changes'
Run github-publish-release script.
Push local changes (that occur in p. 1) to github with git push --follow-tags or similar.
Publish module with npm publish.
