Automate your release process with 🛳 Ship.js

Interesting work by Algolia, to more easily release new versions of your packages:

When releasing, you go through something like the following:

• Update the version in package.json
• Update the changelog
• Actually release it (e.g. yarn build && yarn publish)
• Create a git tag

As such as manual process is prone to errors, they’ve developed 🛳 Ship.js, by which you can automate the process:

1. Run shipjs prepare which will figure out the next version and create a PR
2. Manually review the PR
3. Run shipjs release to trigger a release and set up the proper tags and such

Installation per npm/yarn:

yarn add -D shipjs
