Kill all humans – Automate npm releases and dependency updates
summary
Automates npm publishing with semantic-release that derives semver and generates changelogs from structured commit messages, runs CI and publishes when tests pass; automates dependency updates with greenkeeper.io that opens PRs on out‑of‑range releases, attaches release notes and runs tests so updates are one‑click or auto‑merged; claims scale for 300,000+ packages and shows a working loop connecting commits → CI → npm → PRs, reducing manual chores and preventing human errors in real repositories.
