Action Summary

ReleaseKit is a lightweight, modular release automation tool designed for JavaScript and Rust projects, leveraging conventional commits to automate semantic versioning, changelog generation, and package publishing. Tailored for CI/CD pipelines, it supports monorepos, integrates with GitHub Actions, and offers features like release previews, AI-enhanced changelog summaries, and flexible configuration for automated workflows. Its composable design allows users to run a full release pipeline or use individual tools independently for greater control.
