Been looking at using standard-version for videojs. We basically do this for pre-build bundles for bower users or other users who don't want to use a bundler.
A potentially easy change is to be able to run the tagging portion of standard-version separately. So, you run the changelog generator, it doesn't commit or tag yet, then, you run your build script and then run the commit/tagging portion.
Or you could accept a command to run before committing. Kind of like you can do annpm versionscript that builds a release and adds the changes to git.

@bcoe@stevemaothanks for v3.0!:) do you guys have any thoughts on this though?

@JaKXzI'm not opposed to this idea, would love to make sure we support a few common workflows; is there an approach that you think would work well for both your and@gkatsev's use-case?

@bcoe@gkatsev@JaKXzIs there still a need for a hook betweengit addandgit commit/tag?Doesv3.0and--commit-allnot enable this, since artifacts built before the release script will be added to the commit?

"prerelease": "webpack -p --bail",
"release": "standard-version --commit-all" // Could replace --commit-all with -a

I'm not against supporting a "lifecycle-hook" between the add and commit/tag (e.g.standard-version-pre-commitor something less verbose) but at least this use-case seems to be covered.

I think that--commit-allcould potentially work for my usecase. It seems similar to what I've done with the built-in version script:

"version": "npm run build && git add -f dist/"

Then when npm's versioning runs, it just commits the entire thing.

Great! I think this issue can technically be closed, since you can commit any artifacts built beforestandard-versionwith--commit-all.Just gonna wait for@JaKXzto confirm that this works for him as well.

Actually we should keep this issue open to track documentation relating to this use-case.

@Tapppi--commit-allworks! Thanks so much:D

...actually, I may have spoken too soon. I had to add the built assets to the release commit myself.

Based on#121it looks like I have togit add.beforestandard-version -as.

Yes - documentation on this would be great:I can try to write something up tonight but can't promise free time so if someone else can do it please do#127.

Yes, currently the commit-all flag just commitsalready staged changes.That might seem confusing, but I actually think it allows for greater control over the process. Needs to be clear in the documentation though. I'll take a look at the pr soon when I'm on my comp.
