Release It! v3

Try it now: npm install -g release-it@beta

This is the first beta release of v3. Feel free to run it on your workload locally or CI environment. Remember, there is a "dry run" option, and a "no-questions-asked mode", working well together using release-it -dn:

New features

Animated spinners, checkmarks and duration (in --non-interactive mode).
Disable specific tasks within the release process (e.g. skip tagging the commit).
Use --no- with CLI arguments to negate boolean settings, such as --no-npm.publish or --no-src.tag.
Separate github and npm configuration for source and dist repos.
Support for public scoped npm packages.

Breaking changes

npm
- npm.publish is now true by default.
- The npm. forcePublishSourceRepo is removed. Set npm.publish and dist.npm.publish to true as needed.
Github Release
- Former githubAssets are now at github.assets and dist.github.assets.
- Set github.release and/or dist.github.release to true as needed
Generic
- Removed src.beforeStageCommand. It was pointless, as it was executed right before buildCommand (dist.beforeStageCommand is still there).
- Removed implicit verbose output. Use --verbose as needed.
- release-it --debug has become DEBUG=release-it:* release-it.

Under the hood

Finally, a test suite.
Use modern JavaScript (ES6+)
- Transpile unsupported features using babel-register.
- Use ES Modules (import/export) with @std/esm.
- Switch from when.js to async/await and native promises.
- Use eslint + prettier for code aesthetics/consistency.
Switch from home-made async file copy module to cpy.
Switch from minimist to yargs-parser for CLI argument parsing.
Use ora for spinners and checkmarks.
Use debug package for debug output.
Less retries for GitHub releases/upload assets when it seems pointless to do so.
