There are some libraries that automate this process. One of them is release-it.

https://github.com/release-it/release-it

This package automatically bumps up the version number in the package.json and create a new brnach/tag. It also automates pushing to NPM, creating change log, cd/ci etc.

  "name": "my-package",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "release": "release-it"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "release-it": "*"
  }
}

then

npm run release

or

npm run release -- minor --ci
