exec VS zx

@semantic-release/exec - used to set GitHub action environment variables when run as from docker container and GitHub action outputs when run as a marketplace action

This meant that forcing a major tag update with @semantic-release/exec as part of the release process was possible, but would result in the major tag (for example v3) linking to a valid repository commit SHA that is not actually released in the marketplace.

This article introduces semantic-release as a solution. It automates the release process, and its exec plugin helps us to run @vercel/ncc before the release automatically.

You may need a minor tweak up. For example, push some pkg to both public and internal registries. Ooops. "...publishing to two different registry is not a good idea". In this case you can not rely on stable, convenient and tested in millions runs semrel/npm plugin, and you have to just write a pair of commands by hand with semantic-release/exec instead:

TIL about zx! https://github.com/google/zx

This suite of tools feels indispensable. Anything to keep me from having to write/maintain bash scripts that are more than a series of commands.

Great point! According to https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/b433beb016470b87850f3c01..., Bun Shell took inspiration from zx[0], dax[1] and bnx[2]

If you want test it, you can run this script withzx :

I really love writing with zx. https://github.com/google/zx

We have some folks who have gone wild copy-pasting random fancy bash snippets into various developer helpers scripts. Zx did like 90% of that stuff out of the box, without being a pile of chaotic custom bash.

I ended up using this for my cli scripting needs. https://github.com/google/zx

lol no javascript
