## Plugins

This shareable configuration uses the following plugins:

- [`@semantic-release/commit-analyzer`][sr-commit-analyzer-link] — determines version bumps using the [Conventional Commits][conventionalcommits-link] preset
- [`@semantic-release/release-notes-generator`][sr-release-notes-generator-link] — generates release notes with typed sections
- [`@semantic-release/npm`][sr-npm-link] — publishes to npm
- [`@semantic-release/github`][sr-github-link] — creates GitHub releases

## Release Rules

This config is designed to work with [Renovate][renovate-link] commit conventions:

| Commit pattern        | Example                                   | Release    |
|-----------------------|-------------------------------------------|------------|
| `feat: ...`           | `feat: add new option`                    | minor      |
| `fix: ...`            | `fix: resolve parsing error`              | patch      |
| `chore(deps)!: ...`   | `chore(deps)!: update X (1.0.0 → 2.0.0)`  | minor      |
| `chore(deps): ...`    | `chore(deps): update X (1.0.0 → 1.1.0)`   | patch      |
| `chore(actions): ...` | `chore(actions): update actions/checkout` | no release |

## Installation

Install `this config` as a _`devDependencies`_:

```sh
# npm
npm install @ivuorinen/semantic-release-config --save-dev

# Yarn
yarn add @ivuorinen/semantic-release-config --dev
```

After installing it, a _`.releaserc.json`_ file will be created automatically in the project's root folder with the following configuration:

```json
{
  "extends": ["@ivuorinen/semantic-release-config"]
}
```

## Configuration

Ensure that your CI configuration has the following **_secret_** environment variables set:

- [`GH_TOKEN`][gh-token-link] with [`public_repo`][gh-scopes-link] access or `GITHUB_TOKEN`.
- [`NPM_TOKEN`][npm-token-link]

See each [plugin](#plugins) documentation for required installation and configuration steps.
