release-it is a production-grade CLI tool that automates the entire software release lifecycle: determining the next semantic version, bumping manifests (package.json via npm version), staging/committing/tagging/pushing to git, publishing to npm (including staged publishing queues, OTP flows, custom registries, and pnpm/bun publishers), and creating GitHub or GitLab releases with changelogs and binary assets. It is distributed as an npm package with a bin entry point (bin/release-it.js) and is used by major projects including Axios, jQuery, Redux, Swagger, and n8n. In production it operates as a shell-out orchestrator rather than a library-first tool — it drives git and npm CLI commands directly and talks to GitHub via Octokit and GitLab via undici fetch against their v4 REST API.
Genql is a type-safe GraphQL query builder that generates TypeScript clients from GraphQL schemas. The core functionality resides in the CLI (@genql/cli) which introspects a GraphQL schema and emits a client enabling compile-time query validation and autocompletion. The repository also includes a Next.js website for documentation and a converter tool, plus a scraper subsystem that automatically discovers public GraphQL APIs via Sourcegraph, generates clients, and publishes them to npm. The architecture is a monorepo managed by pnpm with three main components: cli (code generation and runtime), website (documentation and converter), and scraper (automated discovery and publishing). Key features include batching queries, subscriptions, framework-agnostic design, and support for Node.js, browser, Deno, and Cloudflare environments.
