Hooks & including files in builds

You can run checks (e.g., lint) before bumping versions and add generated files to the release commit.

// package.json
"scripts": {
  "release": "commit-and-tag-version --commit-all"
}

• --commit-all commits staged and untracked files.
• Combine with prerelease hook to include only needed generated files.

More on committing generated artifacts

// .versionrc.js
"scripts": {
  "prerelease": "npm run lint && npm run build && git add dist/*"
}

• Runs before version bump and commit.
• Ensures generated files are staged for the release commit.
