Blast Shield Release Tool

The Blast Shield Release Tool is a dedicated CLI application for managing the release process of the Blast Shield monorepo packages.

Features

• Traditional Release Workflow - Manually increment versions using semantic versioning
• Changesets-based Workflow - Release management using Changesets
• Dry Run Support - Preview release actions without making changes
• Specialized Package Publishing - Handle publishing to npm with proper configuration

Installation

This package is part of the Blast Shield monorepo. To set up the release tool:

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Build the release tool
pnpm build:release

Usage

Traditional Release

The traditional release workflow allows you to manually increment version numbers:

# Run a traditional release (patch by default)
pnpm release:traditional

# Specify a different version bump type
pnpm release traditional --bump minor

# Release a specific package
pnpm release traditional --package core

# Dry run to preview changes
pnpm release:dry-run

Changesets Release

The Changesets workflow provides a more structured approach to releases:

# Create a new changeset describing your changes
pnpm release changeset create

# Check status of pending changesets
pnpm release changeset status

# Release using changesets
pnpm release changeset release

# Release with a specific npm tag
pnpm release changeset release --tag beta

Debug Mode

For troubleshooting, use the debug flag:

pnpm release --debug
