SemanticRelease.Core

A .NET implementation of semantic versioning and release automation for .NET projects. This project is inspired by the semantic-release package for Node.js.

Overview

SemanticRelease.Core provides automated versioning and package publishing by analyzing commit messages. It follows the Semantic Versioning specification to determine the next version number based on the types of changes made.

Features

  • Automatic version determination based on commit history
  • Semantic versioning compliance
  • Automatic CHANGELOG generation
  • Git tag management
  • Plugin-based architecture for extensibility

Installation

Install the NuGet package:

dotnet add package SemanticRelease.CoreBehavior

Dependencies

  • .NET Standard 2.1
  • LibGit2Sharp (for Git repository operations)
  • SemanticRelease.Abstractions

Usage

The core plugin can be registered with the semantic release lifecycle:

var lifecycle = new SemanticLifecycle();
var corePlugin = new CorePlugin();
corePlugin.Register(lifecycle);

How It Works

The plugin analyzes your Git repository to:

  1. Find the last release tag
  2. Collect commits since that tag
  3. Analyze commit messages to determine the next version
  4. Update project files with the new version
  5. Generate a changelog
  6. Create a new Git tag

Configuration

Configuration is handled through a semantic-release.json file in your project root, similar to the Node.js semantic-release package.
