The shared semantic release config and plugins for my projects.

## Usage

**Install the package**:

```bash
# install the package and run semantic-release with built-in config
pnpm dlx @jcwillox/semantic-release-config
```

> Extra args are passed straight to `semantic-release` so you can use `--dry-run` or `--no-ci` for example.

## Environment Variables

The config is designed to be controlled through environment variables, all envs must be prefixed with `SEMANTIC_RELEASE_`.
