semantic-release VS gitmoji

I'm trying to improve the security behind our release process, which uses semantic-release. During this process, it creates a change log which is committed to the repo, publishes a package and a few other things.

Conventional commits specification contains a set of rules for creating an explicit commit history, which makes it easier to write automated tools on top of, for example, semantic release. You can manually follow this convention in your project or use a tool to assist you, such as Commitizen.

When working with JavaScript projects, managing version numbers and commit messages is important for the maintainability of the project. Since 2020 I have been the main developer of Atomic Calendar Revive a highly customisable Home Assistant calendar card, I found maintaining versions and releases to be cumbersome until recently. In this article, I will introduce the commitizen and semantic-release packages for creation or appropriate commit messages and semantic versioning. I will also provide examples of how I am currently using these packages to streamline my release workflow and project maintenance.

To further streamline deployments, I introduced semantic-release. This tool automates commit tagging and tracks changes since the previous version. As a result, deployments now occur only when new tags are present, saving us valuable minutes.

If your projects ar made in javascript and related tools, I'd suggest you to check: semantic-release

If you are a fan of gitmoji (I am not - but its something some people seem to like) https://gitmoji.dev

The lib uses conventional commits convention which makes commits meaningful. You can also turn on GitMoji setting if you like. And select different languages and many other features (I got 12 PRs so far)

OpenCommit leverages the conventional commits convention, ensuring your commit messages are both concise and informative. Want a little fun in your commits? Enable the GitMoji setting!
