```bash
npm i semantic-release
```

`semantic-release` provides "prepublish" and "postpublish" hooks so you automatically release the correct version.

Run `semantic-release pre` right before `npm publish` and `semantic-release post` right after. 

The post hook is automatable in `package.json` with a "postpublish" script:
```json
"scripts": {
  "postpublish": "semantic-release post"
}
```

This is currently not possible for the "prepublish" hook. See [npm/npm#7118](https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7118).
