If something in between fails (like a new package was added and needs to be published for the
first time but you forgot) you can use lerna publish from-package
to publish anything that
has not been published yet.
- Copy changelog entry for the new version
- Create release for the new tag: https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint/releases

npx lerna publish --conventional-commits --dist-tag [`next` | `[release-vXX(BRANCH)]`] --otp <one-time password>
If for some reason this stops in between, you can manually publish missing packages like this:
npm publish <package-name> --tag [`next` | `[release-vXX(BRANCH)]`] --otp <one-time password>
npm publish [PACKAGE_NAME] --access public
From within the folder first i.e. cd @commitlint/new-packages
.
npm login
npx lerna exec --no-bail --no-private --no-sort --stream -- '[ -n "$(npm v . dist-tags.next)" ] && npm dist-tag add ${LERNA_PACKAGE_NAME}@$(npm v . dist-tags.next) latest --otp <one-time password>'
Remove next:
npx lerna exec --no-bail --no-private --no-sort --stream -- '[ -n "$(npm v . dist-tags.next)" ] && npm dist-tag rm ${LERNA_PACKAGE_NAME} next --otp <one-time password>'
