semantic-release-monorepo is updateing the version of both apps when only one app was updated.

[IdecEddy]

Hello,

I am using terborepo to manage my monorepo. I made a change to a file in one of the packages in my monorepo ( app1-express ). When the semantic-release step ran in my GitLab CI/CD it released both apps and raised the version number in both of the apps. I ran yarn semantic-release in both app1-express and app2-nextjs directory.

    - apk add git yarn --repository=http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing
    - echo "unsafe-perm = true" >> ~/.npmrc
  script:
    - cd apps/app1-nextjs
    - yarn release
    - cd ../app2-express
    - yarn release 
  artifacts:
    reports:
      dotenv: apps/app1-nextjs/build.env
  only:
    refs:
      - master

yarn release looks like this in package.json script: "release": "yarn semantic-release"

I am not sure if semantic-release-monorepo would affect the "@semantic-release/npm", plugin that updates the package version. Can you provide any guidance on this topic?

As an update, I looked though the log and found that the @semantic-release/commit-analyzer found that The commit should not trigger a release but it still did.

that and the exec step also runs when I don't think it should.

Im just silly looks like I forgot to add "extends": "semantic-release-monorepo" to one of the app I was using as the ignore test. Remember to look over all your work friends.
