• Make sure we have the latest tags available to us
• Check to see if the current commit is available in the trunk branch
• Creates a versioning branch, from the current HEAD
• Generate a changelog (using generate-changelog)
• Bump the version as appropriate (major, minor or patch) (See npm version)
• Push the versioning branch to the remote
• If Gitlab credentials supplied Merge the remote versioning branch with the remote trunk branch
• If a Dockerfile is present and image / container repository is defined Build and push the docker image to the remote container
• Clean up (remove versioning branches, pull down newly merged trunk branch)
