Release Process

The release process is composed by multiple standards and utilities combined together:

Conventional Commits based on the Angular convention are used to keep standard commit messages all around the project
Semantic Versioning (SemVer) Specification is used to determine the version format of each new release
conventional-changelog/standard-version automatizes the process of creating a new release based on the commit history
conventional-github-releaser/conventional-github-releaser takes care of publishing the new release on GitHub

Set the CONVENTIONAL_GITHUB_RELEASER_TOKEN environment variable with the github personal token value (you can use direnv)
