Using semantic-release with GitHub Actions
This is a demo of how to automatically publish npm packages to the npm registry using GitHub Actions and
semantic-release.
Watch the demo at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCXq86FOlzQ
What is semantic-release?
semantic-release automates the whole package release workflow including: determining the next version number, generating the release notes and publishing the package. This removes the immediate connection between human emotions and version numbers, strictly following the Semantic Versioning specification.
See https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release#how-does-it-work
What is GitHub Actions?
GitHub Actions is a code execution platform for doing CI/CD. It's similar to services like Travis CI or Circle CI, but it's built right into GitHub.

Steps to set up Semantic Release on your GitHub repo
- Only allow squash merging of pull requests
- Install https://github.com/apps/semantic-pull-requests
- Create npm token using
npm token createor https://www.npmjs.com/settings - Add token to repo secrets as
NPM_TOKEN - Add release workflow file to
.github/workflows/release.yml - Set
versionto0.0.0-developmentin package.json -
npm i -D semantic-release - Use semantic commit messages
- Create a pull request
