Once the prep work is completed, the actual release is straight forward:
32
30
33
- ```
31
+ * First, ensure that you have installed your projects dependencies:
32
+
33
+ ``` sh
34
34
yarn install
35
- yarn release
36
35
```

- The ` release ` script leverages
39
- [ release-it] ( https://github.com/release-it/release-it/ ) to do the mechanical
40
- release process. It will prompt you through the process of choosing the version
41
- number, tagging, pushing the tag and commits, etc.
37
+ * Second, ensure that you have obtained a
38
+ [ GitHub personal access token] [ generate-token ] with the ` repo ` scope (no
39
+ other permissions are needed). Make sure the token is available as the
40
+ ` GITHUB_AUTH ` environment variable.
41
+
42
+ For instance:
43
+
44
+ ``` bash
45
+ export GITHUB_AUTH=abc123def456
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ [ generate-token ] : https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo&description=GITHUB_AUTH+env+variable
49
+
50
+ * And last (but not least 😁) do your release.
51
+
52
+ ``` sh
53
+ npx release-it
54
+ ```
55
+
56
+ [ release-it] ( https://github.com/release-it/release-it/ ) manages the actual
57
+ release process. It will prompt you to to choose the version number after which
58
+ you will have the chance to hand tweak the changelog to be used (for the
59
+ ` CHANGELOG.md ` and GitHub release), then ` release-it ` continues on to tagging,
60
+ pushing the tag and commits, etc.
