Why Doesn't 'npx nx release --skip-publish' Push Commits and Tags Automatically?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I have the following minimalistic nx.json config:

JSON
{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/nx/schemas/nx-schema.json",
  "targetDefaults": {
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "outputs": ["{projectRoot}/dist"],
      "cache": true
    }
  },
  "tasksRunnerOptions": {
    // ...
  },
  "release": {
    "projects": ["*"],
    "projectsRelationship": "independent",
    "version": {
      "conventionalCommits": true
    },
    "changelog": {
      "projectChangelogs": true
    }
  }
}

I noticed that when I run the command:

BASH
npx nx release --skip-publish

it creates the commit and tags correctly, but it doesn't push the changes. My current workaround is:

BASH
npx nx release --skip-publish && git push --follow-tags

According to the documentation (Nx Release Documentation), the --git-push option exists for the commands nx release version and nx release changelog. Is there a way to configure npx nx release to automatically push commits and tags (i.e., utilize the --git-push flag) without having to push manually?

Thanks in advance for your help 🙏

Based on the current behavior and documentation, the top-level command:

npx nx release --skip-publish

does not automatically push commits/tags—even though the lower-level commands (like nx release version and nx release changelog) accept a --git-push flag. In other words, there isn’t a built-in way to have the overall nx release command push commits/tags automatically.

Options

Use Lower-Level Commands Separately:
You can run the version and changelog commands separately with the --git-push flag:
```
BASH
npx nx release version --git-push
npx nx release changelog --git-push
```
Manual Push:
Continue using your workaround, where you manually push changes/tags after running the release command:
```
BASH
npx nx release --skip-publish && git push --follow-tags
```

For now, these approaches are the recommended workarounds since the overall nx release command does not currently accept a --git-push flag.

If this behavior is a blocker, consider filing an issue or feature request with the Nx team, so it can be considered for future releases.
