@inett/semantic-release-unsquash

This is a fork of semantic-release-unsquash by romap0 with built-in commit-analyzer and release-notes-generator support and opinionated defaults.

A tiny wrapper for commit-analyzer and release-notes-generator which works with squashed merge requests (e.g. GitLab or GitHub squash commits).
It "unsquashes" the original commits from the squash message and feeds them to the underlying plugins.

🚀 Features

• Parses * commit style squash messages
• Built-in commitAnalyzerConfig and notesGeneratorConfig
• Supports GitHub and GitLab squash commit templates
• Optional override via plugin config in package.json

📦 Install

npm install -D @inett/semantic-release-unsquash

🔧 Usage

{
  "plugins": ["@inett/semantic-release-unsquash"]
}

✨ You don't need to provide extra configuration — the plugin uses sensible defaults for:

• Conventional Commits parsing
• Release rules
• Changelog section titles
• Breaking change keywords

⚙️ Optional Overrides

If you want to override or extend the defaults:

{
  "plugins": [
    [
      "@inett/semantic-release-unsquash",
      {
        "commitAnalyzerConfig": {
          "releaseRules": [{ "type": "deps", "release": "patch" }]
        },
        "notesGeneratorConfig": {
          "presetConfig": {
            "types": [
              { "type": "deps", "section": "📦 Dependencies", "hidden": false }
            ]
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  ]
}

💡 Usage with GitHub

GitHub automatically adds a list of original commits to the squash message. This plugin will parse those and pass them on to semantic-release.

💡 Usage with GitLab

To enable unsquashing, set your squash commit template in Project Settings → Merge Requests to:

%{title}

%{all_commits}
