semantic-release-codeship-example

An example of using semantic-release to automatically publish a module from Codeship to NPM.

Set up

Note: if you want to try this for yourself, you must first clone/fork the project, and use a different name in package.json.

1. Install the dependencies:

   npm install -g semantic-release-cli
   npm install

2. Create a Codeship project on codeship.com. Simply link to the Github project, and configure with:

   Setup Commands:

   nvm install 5
   nvm use 5
   npm install

   Test Pipelines:

   npm test

3. Back to the command line, set up semantic-release:

   semantic-release-cli setup
   # select "Other (prints tokens)" when prompted for the CI you are using

   

4. Copy the GH_TOKEN and NPM_TOKEN values and add them as environment variables to your Codeship project settings.

5. In addition to above, add a CI=true environment variable to the Codeship project.

6. From your Project Settings on Codeship, add a new deployment pipeline:

   • When branch is exactly master
   • Using a Custom Script: npm run semantic-release

7. Commit and push to your git master branch, then simply wait!

We're also making use of the generateNotes plugin to automatically generate release notes: https://github.com/Merott/semantic-release-codeship-example/releases
