conventional-commits

Conventional Commits Plugin

Parse conventional commit messages and use them to calculate the version. This plugin will omit the PR HEAD if it isn't labeled and has a commit with a conventional-commit commit message.

The default behavior extends the conventional commits spec:

• Type fix: => patch
• Type feat: => minor
• Type BREAKING: => major
• A ! in the type indicated a breaking change
• BREAKING CHANGE in the footer indicates a breaking change
• All other types are considered skip-release

Installation

This plugin is not included with the auto CLI installed via NPM. To install:

npm i --save-dev @auto-it/conventional-commits
# or
yarn add -D @auto-it/conventional-commits

Usage

  "plugins": [
    "npm",
