Light Release is a lightweight tool that automates the release process by reading commit history and using conventional commits to determine the release type (major, minor, or patch) and generate release notes. It is a dependency-free alternative to semantic-release, offering built-in Markdown/HTML release notes, customizable versioning keywords, and a simple single-command workflow (npx light-release) or via a package.json script. It supports non-Node projects by allowing JSON-based version files (e.g., deno.json or jsr.json) and generates a default light-release.config.json on first run for plug-and-play setup, making it ideal for small projects seeking simplicity.
