Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Simplifies publishing workflows for npm packages. Performs lots of useful checks like checking for the release branch, clean working directory, running tests, etc. Handles version bumps, GitHub releases, packaging, tagging. Includes 2FA. Handles rollbacks in case of failure.

Tradeoffs

Doesn’t support monorepos. Designed as an interactive CLI rather than as part of an automated workflow e.g. in CI.
