do semantic-release npm package alters package.json?

ChatGPT

Yes, the semantic-release npm package can alter the package.json file. When using
semantic-release, it automates the release process, including updating the version
number in the package.json file according to the commits in the repository.

Here's how it typically affects package.json:

1. Version Bump: semantic-release updates the version number based on the


commit messages. For example, if the commit messages indicate that a new feature
has been added, semantic-release might bump the version from 1.0.0 to
1.1.0.
2. Release Notes: It can add release notes or changelogs to the repository, although
this doesn't usually modify package.json.
3. Dependencies: If configured, it might also update dependencies, but this is less
common and usually handled separately.

Example Workflow

1. Commit Messages: Developers follow a commit message convention (e.g., Angular


Commit Message Conventions).
2. Run semantic-release: When triggered (e.g., via CI/CD pipeline),
semantic-release analyzes the commit messages to determine the next version.
3. Update package.json: It updates the version in package.json and may push
these changes back to the repository.

Configuration

The behavior of semantic-release is controlled through configuration files like


.releaserc or release.config.js, where you can specify plugins and other settings to
customize its behavior.

Here's a simple example of a .releaserc configuration:

json

Copiar código

"branches": ["main"],

"plugins": [
"@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",

"@semantic-release/release-notes-generator",

"@semantic-release/npm",

"@semantic-release/github"

In summary, semantic-release does alter the package.json file by updating the


version number based on the commit messages in your repository.

how to make semantic-release not change package.json and not updating the version
number?

ChatGPT

To configure semantic-release not to update the package.json file and not to bump
the version number, you can use the @semantic-release/git and
@semantic-release/npm plugins with specific options.

Here are the steps:

Install Necessary Plugins: Make sure you have the necessary plugins installed. You can
install them using npm or yarn:
sh
Copiar código
npm install @semantic-release/git @semantic-release/npm --save-dev

1.

Configure .releaserc or release.config.js: Set up the configuration file to specify


that package.json should not be modified and the version number should not be updated.
Here's an example configuration in .releaserc:
json
Copiar código
{

"branches": ["main"],

"plugins": [
"@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",

"@semantic-release/release-notes-generator",

"@semantic-release/npm",

"npmPublish": false,

"tarballDir": "dist",

"pkgRoot": "."

],

"@semantic-release/git",

"assets": ["dist/**/*.{js,css}"],

"message": "chore(release): ${nextRelease.version} [skip


ci]"

2. In this configuration:
○ The @semantic-release/npm plugin is configured with npmPublish:
false to prevent publishing to the npm registry.
○ The @semantic-release/git plugin is configured with assets set to only
include files in the dist directory, and no mention of package.json.
3. Configure CI/CD: Ensure your CI/CD pipeline is set up to use this configuration.
When semantic-release runs, it will generate release notes and manage tags but
will not alter package.json or update the version number.
Explanation

● @semantic-release/npm with npmPublish: false: This prevents the package from


being published to the npm registry.
● @semantic-release/git with assets excluding package.json: This ensures that
only specified assets are committed and pushed, excluding package.json.

By following these steps, you can configure semantic-release to handle releases without
altering the package.json file or updating the version number.
