Release Version Update

Bump version and auto-generate CHANGELOG.md for the VS Code extension using standard-version.

Usage

/release <version-type>

Version Types

  • patch - Increment patch version (e.g., 0.3.1 → 0.3.2)
  • minor - Increment minor version (e.g., 0.3.1 → 0.4.0)
  • major - Increment major version (e.g., 0.3.1 → 1.0.0)

Workflow

Step 1: Read Current Version

node -p "require('./package.json').version"

Step 2: Check Unreleased Commits

Show commits since the last release tag to verify there are changes to release:

git log v$(node -p "require('./package.json').version")..HEAD --oneline

If there are no commits, warn the user and stop.

Step 3: Bump Version and Generate CHANGELOG

Use standard-version to bump version in package.json and package-lock.json, and auto-generate CHANGELOG.md from conventional commits:

npm run release:patch   # for patch
npm run release:minor   # for minor
npm run release:major   # for major

This runs npx standard-version --release-as <type> which:

  • Bumps version in package.json and package-lock.json
  • Generates CHANGELOG.md entries from conventional commit messages
  • Creates a commit with the changes
  • Does NOT create a tag or push (configured in .versionrc.cjs)

Step 4: Report Results

Display:

  • Old version → New version
  • CHANGELOG.md diff (new entries)
  • Reminder: "Push with git push, then create tag after CI passes"

Important Notes

  • Do NOT create git tags — that is a separate step done after CI passes
  • Do NOT push — the user decides when to push
  • The .versionrc.cjs config maps conventional commits to changelog sections:
    • feat → Added
    • fix → Fixed
    • perf, refactor, docs → Changed
    • revert → Reverted
    • style, test, chore, ci → hidden

File Locations

  • Version: package.json ("version" field)
  • Lock file: package-lock.json ("version" field)
  • Changelog: CHANGELOG.md
  • Config: .versionrc.cjs

Examples

/release patch    # 0.3.1 → 0.3.2
/release minor    # 0.3.1 → 0.4.0
/release major    # 0.3.1 → 1.0.0
