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

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