Usage

const semanticRelease = require('semantic-release');
const {WritableStreamBuffer} = require('stream-buffers');

const stdoutBuffer = WritableStreamBuffer();
const stderrBuffer = WritableStreamBuffer();

try {
  const result = await semanticRelease({
    // Core options
    branches: [

      'next-major',
      {name: 'beta', prerelease: true},
      {name: 'alpha', prerelease: true}
    ],
    repositoryUrl: 'https://github.com/me/my-package.git',

API

semanticRelease([options], [config]) => Promise

Run semantic-release and returns a Promise that resolves to a Result object.

options

Type: Object

semantic-release options.

Can be used to set any core option or plugin options.

Each option, will take precedence over options configured in the configuration file and shareable configurations.

config

Type: Object

semantic-release configuration specific for API usage.

cwd

Type: String
Default: process.cwd()

The current working directory to use. It should be configured to the root of the Git repository to release from.

It allows to run semantic-release from a specific path without having to change the local process cwd with process.chdir().

env

Type: Object
Default: process.env

The environment variables to use.

It allows to run semantic-release with specific environment variables without having to modify the local process.env.

stdout

Type: stream.Writable
Default: process.stdout

The writable stream used to log information.

It allows to configure semantic-release to write logs to a specific stream rather than the local process.stdout.

stderr

Type: stream.Writable
Default: process.stderr

The writable stream used to log errors.

It allows to configure semantic-release to write errors to a specific stream rather than the local process.stderr.
