> Comprehensive TypeScript-first semantic-release configuration with type safety, validation, and modern development patterns.

## Features

- **TypeScript-First**: Full type safety with IntelliSense support for all configurations
- **Runtime Validation**: Catch configuration errors early with Zod-based validation
- **Preset System**: Pre-configured workflows for npm packages, GitHub releases, and monorepos
- **Plugin Development**: Complete toolkit for creating custom semantic-release plugins
- **Configuration Composition**: Fluent API and composition utilities for complex setups
- **Environment Awareness**: Automatic environment detection and configuration optimization

## Quick Start

### Installation

```sh
# npm
npm install --save-dev @bfra.me/semantic-release semantic-release

# pnpm
pnpm add --save-dev @bfra.me/semantic-release semantic-release

# yarn
yarn add --dev @bfra.me/semantic-release semantic-release
```

### Basic Usage

```typescript
// release.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from '@bfra.me/semantic-release'

export default defineConfig({
  branches: ['main'],
  plugins: [
    '@semantic-release/commit-analyzer',
    '@semantic-release/release-notes-generator',
    '@semantic-release/changelog',
    '@semantic-release/npm',
    '@semantic-release/github',
    '@semantic-release/git',
  ],
})
```

### Using Presets

```typescript
// NPM package preset
import { npmPreset } from '@bfra.me/semantic-release'

export default npmPreset({
  branches: ['main', { name: 'beta', prerelease: true }],
  repositoryUrl: 'https://github.com/user/package'
})
```

### Builder Pattern

```typescript
// Fluent API for complex configurations
import { createConfigBuilder } from '@bfra.me/semantic-release/builder'

export default createConfigBuilder()
  .branches(['main', 'beta'])
  .plugins()
    .commitAnalyzer()
    .releaseNotesGenerator()
    .changelog()
    .npm()
    .github()
    .git()
  .build()
```
