Programatic Usage: Release-Version Premature Exit

[adam-clark-method]

I have a script that creates a build artifact. I need to know the future version number to include in the artifact name.

When I run release({ 'release-version': true, increment: increment,...}) within my script the script exits cause of the process.exit(0) found here:

https://github.com/release-it/release-it/blob/main/lib/index.js#L103-L106

Is there a different way to get the programatic version? Do I need to create my own plugin?

You could execute release-it in a child process for this. Or, indeed, create a plugin.
