npm-release

Automates the entire npm release process—version bumping, git commits, tagging, pushing, and publishing—in a single command, reducing manual errors. The README shows it handles all steps from 'bumps the version' to 'releases to npm'.

Requires minimal configuration; just install globally and run in a folder with package.json and git remote, as per the install and usage instructions. This makes it accessible even for inexperienced developers.

Supports standard npm version options like major, minor, patch, and build, allowing for various release types without extra setup. The usage section explicitly states it 'supports the same version options as npm version'.

Allows custom commit messages via the -m flag, providing flexibility for release notes. The README includes an example: 'npm-release major -m "#yolo"'.
