# Configuration
|
||
|
||
**semantic-release** configuration consist of:
|
||
- Git repository options ([URL](#repositoryurl), [release branch](#branch) and [tag format](#tagformat))
|
||
- [plugins](#plugins) definition
|
||
- run mode ([debug](#debug), [dry run](#dryrun) and [local (no CI)](#ci))
|
||
|
||
All those options can be configured directly or by extending a [shareable configuration](shareable-configurations.md).
|
||
|
||
Additionally, metadata of Git tags generated by **semantic-release** can be customized via standard [Git environment variables](#git-environment-variables).
|
||
|
||
## Configuration file
|
||
|
||
**semantic-release**’s [options](#options), mode and [plugins](plugins.md) can be set via:
|
||
- A `.releaserc` file, written in YAML or JSON, with optional extensions: .`yaml`/`.yml`/`.json`/`.js`
|
||
- A `release.config.js` file that exports an object
|
||
- A `release` key in the project's `package.json` file
|
||
|
||
Alternatively some options can be set via CLI arguments.
|
||
|
||
The following three examples are the same.
|
||
|
||
Via `release` key in the project's `package.json` file:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"release": {
|
||
"branch": "next"
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ semantic-release
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Via `.releaserc` file:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"branch": "next"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ semantic-release
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Via CLI argument:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
$ semantic-release --branch next
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Note**: CLI arguments take precedence over options configured in the configuration file.
|
||
|
||
**Note**: Plugin options cannot be defined via CLI arguments and must be defined in the configuration file.
|
||
|
||
**Note**: When configuring via `package.json`, the configuration must be under the `release` property. However, when using a `.releaserc` or a `release.config.js` file, the configuration must be set without a `release` property.
|
||
|
||
## Options
|
||
|
||
### extends
|
||
|
||
Type: `Array`, `String`<br>
|
||
CLI arguments: `-e`, `--extends`
|
||
|
||
List of modules or file paths containing a [shareable configuration](shareable-configurations.md). If multiple shareable configurations are set, they will be imported in the order defined with each configuration option taking precedence over the options defined in a previous shareable configuration.
|
||
|
||
**Note**: Options defined via CLI arguments or in the configuration file will take precedence over the ones defined in any shareable configuration.
|
||
|
||
### branch
|
||
|
||
Type: `String`<br>
|
||
Default: `master`<br>
|
||
CLI arguments: `-b`, `--branch`
|
||
|
||
The branch on which releases should happen.
|
||
|
||
### repositoryUrl
|
||
|
||
Type: `String`<br>
|
||
Default: `repository` property in `package.json` or [git origin url](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Working-with-Remotes)<br>
|
||
CLI arguments: `-r`, `--repository-url`
|
||
|
||
The git repository URL.
|
||
|
||
Any valid git url format is supported (See [Git protocols](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protocols)).
|
||
|
||
### tagFormat
|
||
|
||
Type: `String`<br>
|
||
Default: `v${version}`<br>
|
||
CLI arguments: `-t`, `--tag-format`
|
||
|
||
The [Git tag](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging) format used by **semantic-release** to identify releases. The tag name is generated with [Lodash template](https://lodash.com/docs#template) and will be compiled with the `version` variable.
|
||
|
||
**Note**: The `tagFormat` must contain the `version` variable exactly once and compile to a [valid Git reference](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-check-ref-format#_description).
|
||
|
||
### plugins
|
||
|
||
Type: `Array`<br>
|
||
Default: `['@semantic-release/commit-analyzer', '@semantic-release/release-notes-generator', '@semantic-release/npm', '@semantic-release/github']`<br>
|
||
CLI arguments: `-p`, `--plugins`
|
||
|
||
Define the list of plugins to use. Plugins will run in series, in the order defined, for each [steps](../../README.md#release-steps) if they implement it.
|
||
|
||
Plugins configuration can defined by wrapping the name and an options object in an array.
|
||
|
||
See [Plugins configuration](plugins.md#configuration) for more details.
|
||
|
||
### dryRun
|
||
|
||
Type: `Boolean`<br>
|
||
Default: `false` if running in a CI environment, `true` otherwise<br>
|
||
CLI arguments: `-d`, `--dry-run`
|
||
|
||
Dry-run mode, skip publishing, print next version and release notes.
|
||
|
||
### ci
|
||
|
||
Type: `Boolean`<br>
|
||
Default: `true`<br>
|
||
CLI arguments: `--ci` / `--no-ci`
|
||
|
||
Set to `false` to skip Continuous Integration environment verifications. This allows for making releases from a local machine.
|
||
|
||
**Note**: The CLI arguments `--no-ci` is equivalent to `--ci false`.
|
||
|
||
### debug
|
||
|
||
Type: `Boolean`<br>
|
||
Default: `false`<br>
|
||
CLI argument: `--debug`
|
||
|
||
Output debugging information. It can also be enabled by setting the `DEBUG` environment variable to `semantic-release:*`.
