API

semanticRelease([options], [config]) => Promise

Run semantic-release and returns a Promise that resolves to a Result object.

options

Type: Object

semantic-release options.

Can be used to set any core option or plugin options.

Each option, will take precedence over options configured in the configuration file and shareable configurations.

config

Type: Object

semantic-release configuration specific for API usage.

cwd

Type: String
Default: process.cwd()

It allows to run semantic-release from a specific path without having to change the local process cwd with process.chdir().

env

Type: Object
Default: process.env

The environment variables to use.

It allows to run semantic-release with specific environment variables without having to modify the local process.env.

stdout

Type: stream.Writable
Default: process.stdout

The writable stream used to log information.

It allows to configure semantic-release to write logs to a specific stream rather than the local process.stdout.

stderr

Type: stream.Writable
Default: process.stderr

The writable stream used to log errors.

It allows to configure semantic-release to write errors to a specific stream rather than the local process.stderr.
