action VS semver

We'll use the changeset github action. I'll be using firebase for hosting in this example.

And since I'm lazy, and lazy is good, I actually use the excellent Changesets GitHub Action, which will do all of this for me, by way of a Pull Request it will automatically create (you will often find them in the Pull Requests tab of the Composer Suite monorepo.) I can just merge that Pull Request, and a couple of minutes later, my packages will be published to NPM, and GitHub Release entries are created for them, too!

Changesets on the other hand is a semver version management tool that integrates well with pnpm and yarn workspaces by looking at the workspace file and walking you through a wizard for setting up which packages have changed (and has a great GitHub Actions integration and bot for previewing which packages will be updated and how).

changesets has a very detailed instruction to implement their action into your GitHub workflows here https://github.com/changesets/action Or you can get my release.yml here release.yml.

Using Conventional Commits ⭐ as a standard for your commit messages, makes Semantic Versioning 🔖 as easy as can be, with tools like Conventional Changelog 📄 Standard Version 🔖 and Semantic Release 📦🚀

Semantic Versioning: for every update (major, minor, or patch) made, increment the version number according to semantic versioning.

npm automates the process of installing, updating, and managing dependencies, which helps to avoid "dependency hell." It supports semantic versioning (semver) that automatically handles patch and minor updates without breaking the existing code, thus maintaining stability across projects. npm also provides the capability to run scripts and commands defined in package.json, which can automate common tasks such as testing, building, and deployment.

We are pleased to introduce Semantic Versioning and release channels to Snyk CLI from v.1.1291.0 onwards. In this blog post, we will share why we are introducing these changes, what problems these changes solve for our customers, and how our customers can opt-in according to their needs.

Following the Semantic Versioning rules, you should raise the version number every time you need to publish your library. In your "package.json" file, you need to change the version number to reflect whether the changes are major, minor, or patch updates.

Semantic Versioning: An established convention for version numbers following the pattern MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Increases the major of the latest tag and prints it As per the Semver spec, it'll also clear the pre-release…

The reason for this is that software libraries and package managers, in general, but specifically here, rely on semantic versioning. Semantic versioning is really useful for distributing packages in a predictable way. What does this look like for our project?
