Commits to one dir generate release of another.

[programad]

I am trying to achieve the following:

• Monorepo
  • packages/gen
  • packages/icons
  • packages/web

The icon package, only has an empty package.json file.
When the package/gen runs, it generates all the contents of the packages/icons folder.
I want to publish ONLY the packages/icons release and npm package.

It works, but only if I commit something to the packages/icons folder.

I want to detect commits on package/gen in order to decide to generate a new release for packages/icons

Is that possible or I must commit something to packages/icons in order for this to work?

Thank you!

First of all, release-it doesn't have built-in support for monorepos. If you want to publish with separate versioning I'd suggest to run release-it from each package directly and start out from there.

There's quite a few things you could do using hooks, scripts and a fairly large set of built-in options.

If you have a configuration or setup you can share maybe I or others can look at it.
