This PR tries to address the issue described in #192 in a way that is a non BREAKING CHANGE, the approach here is:

Expose a new command option that enables this behavior --detect-release
Get a list of commit since the latest git tag, via git-log-parser
Check if there is any commit type worthy of a release(ex: feat), this is done by taking advantage of the configuration files(ex: .versionrc), if no commit worthy is found we skip the release stage.

You can test this by doing a commit and then running the release command ex:

...
git commit -m "docs: update README"
yarn release --detect-release

Notes

Afterthought: As mentioned in the issue thread this behavior could eventually become a default, and a --force option could be added to give users the ability to always create a new release commit

Hey guys 👋 I came across issue #192, and I tried to follow some ideas/suggestions in the thread. This is somewhat a proof of concept, and also an opportunity for me to explore the codebase 😅 . I'm ok with this being replaced/closed in favor of --force options as mentioned in the issue.

Feedback is appreciated Thanks! 🙏
