bonvoyBon voyage to your releases!

A plugin-based release automation tool for npm packages and monorepos.

🔌

Plugin Architecture

Core is an event bus — everything else is a plugin. Extend or replace any functionality.

📦

npm workspaces out of the box. Independent or fixed versioning per package.

⚡

Works immediately for npm + GitHub projects. No config file needed.

📝

Automatic version bumps and changelogs from your commit messages.

🎯

Direct release with one command, or PR-based workflow like release-please.

🛡️

Checks tags, npm versions, and GitHub releases before making any changes.

Tool	Problem
semantic-release	Too automatic, complex plugin config
release-it	No monorepo support (wontfix)
changesets	Mandatory PR workflow, unpredictable bumps
release-please	Complex config, PR-only workflow
auto	Label-based, PR-dependent

bonvoy gives you the best of all worlds: simple by default, powerful when you need it.

bash
