xyz

xyz simplifies the publishing of npm packages by replacing several manual steps with a single command:

$ xyz
Current version is 0.6.0. Press [enter] to publish example@0.6.1.▌

Several things will happen if one elects to continue:

env VERSION=0.6.1 node -e '
  var pkg = require("./package.json");
  pkg.version = process.env.VERSION;
  fs.writeFileSync("package.json", JSON.stringify(pkg, null, 2) + "\n");
'
git add package.json
git commit --message 'Version 0.6.1'
git tag --annotate v0.6.1 --message 'Version 0.6.1'
git push --atomic origin refs/heads/master refs/tags/v0.6.1
env VERSION=0.6.1 PREVIOUS_VERSION=0.6.0 bash -c 'npm publish'

xyz accepts several optional arguments, described in the help text:

$ xyz --help

Integration

Installing xyz globally is okay, but it's good practice to add it as a dev dependency.

npm

  "scripts": {
    "release": "xyz --repo git@github.com:owner/repo.git --increment",
  }

$ npm run release minor

Make

XYZ = node_modules/.bin/xyz --repo git@github.com:owner/repo.git

.PHONY: release-major release-minor release-patch
release-major release-minor release-patch:
	@$(XYZ) --increment $(@:release-%=%)

$ make release-minor
