Ready-to-use CI/CD configurations for automating Versionings in your pipeline. Each example includes: repository checkout, Node.js setup, global install of versionings, a versionings validate step to verify configuration before release, and versionings release with --ci and --json flags for non-interactive, machine-readable output. Authentication tokens are passed via platform-specific secrets.
Full workflow for GitHub Actions. The token is provided via GITHUB_TOKEN (built-in) or a custom VERSIONINGS_TOKEN secret for API-based PR creation.

- versionings release --semver=patch --branch=ci-release --push --ci --jsonThe BITBUCKET_TOKEN variable must be configured as a secured repository variable in Bitbucket settings. Versionings resolves it automatically from the environment.
Use --semver=auto to let Versionings determine the bump level from your commit history. This works with any CI platform. The example below uses GitHub Actions:
- name: Auto Release
run: versionings release --semver=auto --branch=auto-release --push --ci --json
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}When using --semver=auto, Versionings analyzes commits since the last tag using the Conventional Commits specification:
feat:→ minor bumpfix:→ patch bumpfeat!:orBREAKING CHANGEfooter → major bump
If no conventional commits are found, the conventionalCommits.fallbackBump configuration determines the behavior. Set it to "patch", "minor", or "major" for a default bump, or null to exit with code 11 (NO_CONVENTIONAL_COMMITS). See the Changelog Format Guide for full configuration details.
