How does it determine the next version number?

It analyzes all commit messages since the last git tag. Breaking changes trigger a major bump, new features trigger a minor bump, and bug fixes result in a patch release.

Can I preview a release before committing changes?

Absolutely. The tool includes a dry-run flag that allows you to see the proposed version bump and changelog entries without actually modifying any files or git tags.

Which files are updated during the release process?

The tool updates the version field in plugin.json, appends new entries to CHANGELOG.md, creates a new Git tag, and generates a standalone release notes document.

Does this skill support Conventional Commits?

Yes, it fully supports the Conventional Commits specification, allowing it to automatically categorize changes and determine version bumps based on commit prefixes like feat, fix, and BREAKING CHANGE.

デプロイメントとDevOps

Automates the end-to-end release lifecycle by managing semantic versioning, generating intelligent changelogs, and coordinating git tags.

This skill streamlines the software distribution process by analyzing git commit history to determine appropriate semantic versioning bumps (Major, Minor, or Patch). It provides a robust toolkit for updating metadata files, categorizing changes according to Conventional Commits standards, and generating comprehensive release documentation. By automating the tedious aspects of version management, it ensures consistency across project releases and reduces manual errors during deployment preparation.
