Automates the full release process for npm packages
npm install npm-github-releaseAutomate the full release process for npm packages.
When publishing npm packages, there is more to do than just running npm package. Usually, you end up doing the following steps:
- Versioning
- Creating a release on GitHub with release notes
- Publishing to npm
npm-github-release automates these steps in a simple way. Simply run npm run release, specify the release type (major, minor, patch), provide release notes and you are done. After npm-github-release finishes, you will have a new version of your package available on npm as well as a corresponding release on GitHub with release notes.
Only macOS and Linux are supported.
1. Install npm-github-release
```
npm i --save-dev npm-github-release
2. Add a new release script to your package.json file
``
"scripts": {
"release": "npm-github-release"
}
3. Run npm run release.

A GitHub Personal access token will be needed to create the release on GitHub. Adding this token to an environment variable named GITHUB_API_TOKEN` is recommended as this will allow npm-github-release to skip prompting for it.
