NPM

NPM packages are published through CI/CD in the .github/workflows/master.yml workflow. Every commit that is merged to master will be checked for new versions of all public packages, and any new versions will automatically be published to NPM.

Creating a new release

Version bumps are made through release PRs. To create a new release, checkout out a new branch that you will use for the release, e.g.

$ git checkout -b new-release

Then, from the root of the repo, run

$ yarn release

This will bring up the lerna release CLI where you choose what type of version bump you want to make, (major/minor/patch/prerelease). The CLI will take you through choosing a version, previewing all changes, and then approving the release. Once the release is approved, a new commit is created that you can submit as a PR. Push the branch to GitHub:

$ git push origin -u new-release

And then create a PR. Once the PR is approved and merged into master, the master build will publish new versions of all bumped packages.
