Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Opinionated methodology to help combine changes into a release, particularly when they span multiple packages. Changesets then get combined into a changelog and a version bump, which helps coordinate a package release. Can be integrated into CI to automate releases. Includes a GitHub Action and build/publish support for NPM.

Tradeoffs

Best for NPM / JS monorepos. It will work with other package types, but only if there’s a package.json.
