semantic release
Domain: CI CD Automation
🎯 Motivation
semantic-release fully automates versioning and publishing based on commit messages following conventional commits. It removes human error from version bumps and release notes, making releases fully deterministic.
📋 Concrete Example
Commits like feat: add dark mode trigger a minor version bump, while fix: patch login bug triggers a patch bump. semantic-release reads these, bumps the version, publishes to PyPI, and writes the changelog.
🔗 Analogy
semantic-release is like an autopilot for releases. You steer with commit messages; it decides the speed (version bump), announces the destination (changelog), and lands (publishes) automatically.
