Run conventional-release-setup in your command-line to enable your project to be released with Conventional Commits:

npx conventional-release-setup@latest

Motivation

Many of my projects use Conventional Commits for the release process. Because setting it up is repetitive, I automated the steps.

In the past, I would:

• create commitlint
  • checks if my commit messages meet the conventional commits format (this information is key when generating a release)
• set up husky
  • lints the commit message via a Git hook
• add Release Please
  • bumps the version and generates the CHANGELOG

Now I run the CLI and it does all the work for me.

Usage

Run with npx:

npx conventional-release-setup

Or run globally:

npm install --global conventional-release-setup && conventional-release-setup

Package

You can find conventional-release-setup on:

• NPM
• Yarn

See the GitHub repository.
