release/versionrc

Generates a .versionrc.json configuration file for commit-and-tag-version (and standard-version-compatible tools) that maps conventional commit types to changelog sections.

  "bumpFiles": ["package.json"],
  "types": [
    { "type": "feat", "section": "Features" },
    { "type": "fix", "section": "Bug Fixes" },
    { "type": "refactor", "section": "Code Refactoring" },

    { "type": "revert", "section": "Reverts", "hidden": true }
  ]
}

Tip

This task is separate from release/cat-version. The cat-version task installs the commit-and-tag-version dependency and generates a .versionrc file (JSONC, legacy format). The versionrc task generates .versionrc.json (strict JSON, more feature-complete). You can use both in combination, or only versionrc if you install the tool separately.
