Recommendations for version updates

[97vack]

I update the version and generate logs every time I commit. What I hope to do is trigger this release workflow only when the commit prefix is feature or fix, such as updating the version and generating logs. However, now when I submit a commit of type docs or style, this workflow will also be triggered. What should I do?

This is my release it

I have patched release-it's code on my build environment to exclude commits with certain messages/prefixes with:

sed -i 's@git rev-list@git rev-list --grep="^PREFIX_I_DO_NOT_WANT" --invert-grep@g' /usr/local/lib/node_modules/release-it/lib/plugin/git/Git.js

Would be nice to have it as a configurable feature though.

Thank you for your feedback, but how should I use your plugin and the code above?

It is not a plugin, but a "dirty" hack. I wrote the sed command that patches the Git.js file. ^PREFIX_I_DO_NOT_WANT is the regex that excludes messages that start with PREFIX_I_DO_NOT_WANT. You will have to figure out how to apply it to your case.

Thank you for your help. I think I understand what you mean. I'll give it a try.
