zx-semrel v1.22.2

zx-semrel

zx -based release script as semantic-release alternative (PoC)

Sometimes bloody enterprise enforces you not to use any third-party solutions for sensitive operations (like release, deploy, so on). Old good script copy-paste hurries to the rescue!

Btw, here's an adaptation for monorepos: zx-bulk-release

Requirements

• macOS / linux
• Node.js >= 14.13.1
• git >= 2.0
• zx >= 1.6.0

Key features

• Zero dependencies
• Zero configuration
• Pretty fast
• Tiny, less than 140 lines with comments
• Reliability, safety, simplicity and maintainability (sarcasm)

Functionality

• Poor conventional commits analysis
• CHANGELOG.md generation
• package.json version bumping
• Git release commit creation
• GitHub Release
• Package publishing to both npmjs and gh registries

🚀 Usage

1. Copy
2. Tweak up, inject tokens, etc
3. Run

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/semrel-extra/zx-semrel/master/release.mjs > ./release.mjs
zx ./release.mjs

or this like if zx is not installed:

# Just replace GIT* env values with your own
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME=antongolub GIT_COMMITER_EMAIL=mailbox@antongolub.ru GITHUB_TOKEN=token npx zx ./release.mjs

or just run it without any edits though npx:

# Cross your fingers for luck
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME=antongolub GIT_COMMITER_EMAIL=mailbox@antongolub.ru GITHUB_TOKEN=token npx zx-semrel
