I implement fully automated release pipelines using conventional commits so every merge to main automatically calculates the version bump, generates a changelog, tags the release, and publishes artifacts — with zero manual steps.
Tooling includes semantic-release, release-please, or custom tooling depending on your stack. I configure: conventional commit linting enforced on PRs (commitlint); automated major/minor/patch version calculation from commit types; CHANGELOG.md generation; Git tagging; GitHub or GitLab Release creation; and artifact publishing to npm, PyPI, Docker registries, or binary release assets.
For monorepos I handle per-package independent versioning using semantic-release workspace plugins or Nx release. Pre-release channels (alpha, beta, rc) are also configurable.
Share your Git provider, what you're releasing, branching strategy, and any existing versioning conventions. I'll deliver a team guide alongside the automation so adopting conventional commits is smooth for everyone.
