Configuration

@wroud/ci looks for an optional wroud.ci.config.js file located next to the package.json it relates to. A minimal configuration may look like:

export default {
  repository: "owner/repo", // used for changelog links
  tagPrefix: "v",           // prefix for git tags
  packageManager: "npm",    // npm | yarn | pnpm
};

• repository is required when publishing GitHub releases. It can also be provided via the repository.url field in package.json.
• tagPrefix sets the prefix for git tags. It can alternatively be defined in release.tagPrefix inside package.json.
• packageManager is only needed if the package manager cannot be detected automatically. You can specify it here or via the packageManager field in package.json.

Commands

release [path]

• --prefix tag prefix (defaults to configured prefix)
• --change-log-file path to changelog file
• --dry-run preview actions without writing files

Single Package Repository

1. Install @wroud/ci as a dev dependency.
2. Add scripts to package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "ci:release": "ci release",
    "ci:git-tag": "ci git-tag",
    "ci:release-github": "ci release-github" // optional
  }
}

3. Configure the repository URL and tag prefix in package.json or in a local wroud.ci.config.js file next to it.

4. Example GitHub Action (.github/workflows/release.yml):

name: Release
on:
  push:
    tags:
      - 'v*'
jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: write
      id-token: write
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - run: corepack enable
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v6
        with:
          node-version: 'lts/*'
          registry-url: 'https://registry.npmjs.org'
          cache: 'yarn'
      - run: yarn install --immutable
      - run: yarn build
      - run: yarn ci:release
      - run: yarn ci:git-tag
      - run: git push --follow-tags
      - run: yarn ci:release-github
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      - run: npm publish --access public
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}

Multiple Package Workspace

1. Install @wroud/ci in each package that should be released.
2. Add scripts to each package's package.json as shown above.
3. Configure a unique tagPrefix for every package using either release.tagPrefix in its package.json or an adjacent wroud.ci.config.js file. Ensure repository.url is set if GitHub releases are required.
4. Example GitHub Action for a monorepo:

name: Release
on:
  push:
    tags:
      - '*'
jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: write
      id-token: write
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - run: corepack enable
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v6
        with:
          node-version: 'lts/*'
          registry-url: 'https://registry.npmjs.org'
          cache: 'yarn'
      - run: yarn install --immutable
      - run: yarn workspaces foreach -A --topological --no-private run ci:release
      - run: git commit -m "chore: release" && yarn workspaces foreach -A --no-private run ci:git-tag
      - run: git push --follow-tags
      - run: yarn workspaces foreach -A --no-private run ci:release-github
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      - run: yarn workspaces foreach -A --topological --no-private npm publish --access public --tolerate-republish
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
