release-it Github Action

Tests

Github Action to leverage release-it in Github repositories. Must be used with actions/checkout@v2 or above.

Usage of plugins for release-it requires them to be installed in your workspace before hand.

For a node application just do:

npm install -D release-it

See release-it/release-it for details on how release-it itself works.

For plugins, do the same! Take the super useful release-it/bumper:

npm install -D @release-it/bumper

Defaults to ${{ github.token }}.

Whether release-it should increment the version or not.

Defaults to false.
