+# Semantic Release
+
+[Semantic release](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release) facilitates fully automated release workflow. It determines the next release version number, autogenerates release notes and publishes the package.
+
+Semantic release internally uses commit messages to determine the versions and the changelog. The table below shows which commit message gets you which release type when `semantic-release` runs:
+
+| Commit message                                                                                                                                                                                   | Release type               |
