Release

Automate the release workflow for the pagination-helpers npm package.

Instructions

0. Verify on main branch

Before doing anything else, confirm the working tree is on main and up to date:

git branch --show-current

If not on main, switch and pull:

git checkout main && git pull

Never start a release from a feature branch. Version bumps, commits, and tags must land on main.

1. Determine the next version

Find the latest git tag:

git tag --list 'v*' --sort=-version:refname | head -1

Read the current version from package.json.

Get the diff since the last release tag:

git log <last-tag>..HEAD --oneline
git diff <last-tag>..HEAD --stat

If no v* tag exists yet (first release), use the version already in package.json and review all commits with .
