Package dependency overview

commitlint-dependencies

(Partly outdated)

Publishing a release

npm login
nvm use (if you have nvm installed)
yarn clean
yarn install
yarn build
yarn test
yarn run publish --otp <one-time password>

If something in between fails (like a new package was added and needs to be published for the first time but you forgot) you can use lerna publish from-package to publish anything that has not been published yet.

Create GitHub release

  1. Copy changelog entry for the new version
  2. Create release for the new tag: https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint/releases
  3. Post in the [commitlint Slack-channel][12]

Publish a next release (or i.e. patch release)

npm login
nvm use (if you have nvm installed)
yarn clean
yarn install
yarn build
yarn test
npx lerna publish --conventional-commits --dist-tag [`next` | `[release-vXX(BRANCH)]`] --otp <one-time password>

If for some reason this stops in between, you can manually publish missing packages like this:

npm publish <package-name> --tag [`next` | `[release-vXX(BRANCH)]`] --otp <one-time password>

Publishing (new) packages for the first time

npm publish [PACKAGE_NAME] --access public

From within the folder first i.e. cd @commitlint/new-packages.

Move next to latest

npm login
npx lerna exec --no-bail --no-private --no-sort --stream -- '[ -n "$(npm v . dist-tags.next)" ] && npm dist-tag add ${LERNA_PACKAGE_NAME}@$(npm v . dist-tags.next) latest --otp <one-time password>'

Remove next:

npx lerna exec --no-bail --no-private --no-sort --stream -- '[ -n "$(npm v . dist-tags.next)" ] && npm dist-tag rm ${LERNA_PACKAGE_NAME} next --otp <one-time password>'
