# Changesets Release Action



This action for [Changesets](https://github.com/atlassian/changesets) creates a pull request with all of the package versions updated and changelogs updated and when there are new changesets on [your configured `baseBranch`](https://github.com/changesets/changesets/blob/main/docs/config-file-options.md#basebranch-git-branch-name), the PR will be updated. When you're ready, you can merge the pull request and you can either publish the packages to npm manually or setup the action to do it for you.



## Usage



### Inputs



- publish - The command to use to build and publish packages

- version - The command to update version, edit CHANGELOG, read and delete changesets. Default to `changeset version` if not provided

- commit - The commit message to use. Default to `Version Packages`

- title - The pull request title. Default to `Version Packages`

- setupGitUser - Sets up the git user for commits as `"github-actions[bot]"`. Default to `true`

- createGithubReleases - A boolean value to indicate whether to create Github releases after `publish` or not. Default to `true`

- cwd - Changes node's `process.cwd()` if the project is not located on the root. Default to `process.cwd()`



### Outputs



- published - A boolean value to indicate whether a publishing has happened or not

- publishedPackages - A JSON array to present the published packages. The format is `[{"name": "@xx/xx", "version": "1.2.0"}, {"name": "@xx/xy", "version": "0.8.9"}]`



### Example workflow:



#### Without Publishing



Create a file at `.github/workflows/release.yml` with the following content.



```yml

name: Release



on:

  push:

    branches:

      - main



concurrency: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}



jobs:

  release:

    name: Release

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - name: Checkout Repo

        uses: actions/checkout@v3



      - name: Setup Node.js 20

        uses: actions/setup-node@v3

        with:

          node-version: 20



      - name: Install Dependencies

        run: yarn



      - name: Create Release Pull Request

        uses: changesets/action@v1

        env:

          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

```



#### With Publishing



Before you can setup this action with publishing, you'll need to have an [npm token](https://docs.npmjs.com/creating-and-viewing-authentication-tokens) that can publish the packages in the repo you're setting up the action for and doesn't have 2FA on publish enabled ([2FA on auth can be enabled](https://docs.npmjs.com/about-two-factor-authentication)). You'll also need to [add it as a secret on your GitHub repo](https://help.github.com/en/articles/virtual-environments-for-github-actions#creating-and-using-secrets-encrypted-variables) with the name `NPM_TOKEN`. Once you've done that, you can create a file at `.github/workflows/release.yml` with the following content.



```yml

name: Release



on:

  push:

    branches:

      - main



concurrency: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}



jobs:

  release:

    name: Release

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - name: Checkout Repo

        uses: actions/checkout@v3



      - name: Setup Node.js 20.x

        uses: actions/setup-node@v3

        with:

          node-version: 20.x



      - name: Install Dependencies

        run: yarn



      - name: Create Release Pull Request or Publish to npm

        id: changesets

        uses: changesets/action@v1

        with:

          # This expects you to have a script called release which does a build for your packages and calls changeset publish

          publish: yarn release

        env:

          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

          NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}



      - name: Send a Slack notification if a publish happens

        if: steps.changesets.outputs.published == 'true'

        # You can do something when a publish happens.

        run: my-slack-bot send-notification --message "A new version of ${GITHUB_REPOSITORY} was published!"

```



By default the GitHub Action creates a `.npmrc` file with the following content:



```

//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${process.env.NPM_TOKEN}

```



However, if a `.npmrc` file is found, the GitHub Action does not recreate the file. This is useful if you need to configure the `.npmrc` file on your own.

For example, you can add a step before running the Changesets GitHub Action:



```yml

- name: Creating .npmrc

  run: |

    cat << EOF > "$HOME/.npmrc"

      //registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=$NPM_TOKEN

    EOF

  env:

    NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}

```



#### Custom Publishing



If you want to hook into when publishing should occur but have your own publishing functionality, you can utilize the `hasChangesets` output.



Note that you might need to account for things already being published in your script because a commit without any new changesets can always land on your base branch after a successful publish. In such a case you need to figure out on your own how to skip over the actual publishing logic or handle errors gracefully as most package registries won't allow you to publish over already published version.



```yml

name: Release



on:

  push:

    branches:

      - main



jobs:

  release:

    name: Release

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - name: Checkout Repo

        uses: actions/checkout@v3



      - name: Setup Node.js 20.x

        uses: actions/setup-node@v3

        with:

          node-version: 20.x



      - name: Install Dependencies

        run: yarn



      - name: Create Release Pull Request or Publish to npm

        id: changesets

        uses: changesets/action@v1

        env:

          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}



      - name: Publish

        if: steps.changesets.outputs.hasChangesets == 'false'

        # You can do something when a publish should happen.

        run: yarn publish

```



#### With version script



If you need to add additional logic to the version command, you can do so by using a version script.



If the version script is present, this action will run that script instead of `changeset version`, so please make sure that your script calls `changeset version` at some point. All the changes made by the script will be included in the PR.



```yml

name: Release



on:

  push:

    branches:

      - main



concurrency: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}



jobs:

  release:

    name: Release

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - name: Checkout Repo

        uses: actions/checkout@v3



      - name: Setup Node.js 20.x

        uses: actions/setup-node@v3

        with:

          node-version: 20.x



      - name: Install Dependencies

        run: yarn



      - name: Create Release Pull Request

        uses: changesets/action@v1

        with:

          # this expects you to have a npm script called version that runs some logic and then calls `changeset version`.

          version: yarn version

        env:

          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

```



#### With Yarn 2 / Plug'n'Play



If you are using [Yarn Plug'n'Play](https://yarnpkg.com/features/pnp), you should use a custom `version` command so that the action can resolve the `changeset` CLI:



```yaml

- uses: changesets/action@v1

  with:

    version: yarn changeset version

    ...

```
