GitHub Action for version auto-bumping & auto-publishing

This GitHub Action intends to manage the versioning of npm packages via auto-bumping, auto-alpha-publishing & auto-releasing.

Using this GA allows to easily test npm packages as they’ll be automatically published to npm as an alpha release at the moment of creating a Pull Request on GitHub. All consecutive commits pushed will be published too, handling automatically the versioning of each.

Usage

  1. On open/synchronize PR (poiting to /master), the GA will make sure to bump the alpha release accordingly to the label set & publish a new version to NPM.*

  2. On post-merge (poiting to /master), the GA will publish the package as the @latest release.

* Steps require to setup actions/checkout@v2 using own PAT in order to re-trigger workflows. If using the default ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}, workflows will be omitted.

The package.json version is always bumped accordingly to the latest published version on NPM, and for instance, it will auto-bump in the case of multiple PR's opened at the same time with the same version release type.

Considerations

In order to keep the version properly updated, make sure to enable the "Require branches to be up to date before merging" rule on your GitHub mater branch.
