How they relate

  • Both replace semantic-release. Alternatives to semantic-release →

    Partialcargo-releaseBumps the version, tags and publishes Cargo workspaces from a command, without deriving the bump from commit messages.

    Partialrelease-itBumps, tags and publishes to npm and GitHub, interactively or in CI; versions from commits need a plugin.
