-# Plugin developer guide
+# Plugin Developer Guide
+
+To create a plugin for `semantic-release`, you need to decide which parts of the release lifecycle are important to that plugin. For example, it is best to always have a `verify` step because you may be receiving inputs from a user and want to make sure they exist. A plugin can abide by any of the following lifecycles:
+
+- `verify`
+- `prepare`
+- `publish`
+- `success`
+- `fail`
+
+`semantic-release` will require the plugin via `node` and look through the required object for methods named like the lifecyles stated above. For example, if your plugin only had a `verify` and `success` step, the `main` file for your object would need to `export` an object with `verify` and `success` functions.
+
+In addition to the lifecycle methods, each lifecyle is passed two objects:
+
+1. `pluginConfig` - an object containing the options that a user may pass in via their `release.config.js` file (or similar)
+2. `context` - provided by `semantic-release` for access to things like `env` variables set on the running process.
+
+For each lifecycle you create, you will want to ensure it can accept `pluginConfig` and `context` as parameters.
+
+## Creating a Plugin Project
+
+It is recommended that you generate a new project with `yarn init`. This will provide you with a basic node project to get started with. From there, create an `index.js` file, and make sure it is specified as the `main` in the `package.json`. We will use this file to orchestrate the lifecycle methods later on.
+
+Next, create a `src` or `lib` folder in the root of the project. This is where we will store our logic and code for how our lifecycle methods work. Finally, create a `test` folder so you can write tests related to your logic.
+
+We recommend you setup a linting system to ensure good javascript practices are enforced. ESLint is usually the system of choice, and the configuration can be whatever you or your team fancies.
+
+## Exposing Lifecycle Methods
+
+In your `index.js` file, you can start by writing the following code
+
+```javascript
+const verifyConditions = require('./src/verify');
+
+let verified;
+
+/**
+ * Called by semantic-release during the verification step
+ * @param {*} pluginConfig The semantic-release plugin config
+ * @param {*} context The context provided by semantic-release
+ */
+async function verify(pluginConfig, context) {
+  await verifyConditions(pluginConfig, context);
+  verified = true;
+}
+
+module.exports = { verify };
+```
+
+Then, in your `src` folder, create a file called `verify.js` and add the following
+
+```javascript
+const AggregateError = require('aggregate-error');
+
+/**
+ * A method to verify that the user has given us a slack webhook url to post to
+ */
+module.exports = async (pluginConfig, context) => {
+  const { logger } = context;
+  const errors = [];
+
+  // Throw any errors we accumulated during the validation
+  if (errors.length > 0) {
+    throw new AggregateError(errors);
+  }
+};
+```
+
+As of right now, this code won't do anything. However, if you were to run this plugin via `semantic-release`, it would run when the `verify` step occurred.
+
+Following this structure, you can create different steps and checks to run through out the release process.
+
+## Supporting Options
+
+Let's say we want to verify that an `option` is passed. An `option` is a configuration object that is specific to your plugin. For example, the user may set an `option` in their release config like:
+
+```js
+{
+    prepare: {
+        path: "@semantic-release/my-special-plugin"
+        message: "My cool release message"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This `message` option will be passed to the `pluginConfig` object mentioned earlier. We can use the validation method we created to verify this option exists so we can perform logic based on that knowledge. In our `verify` file, we can add the following:
+
+```js
+const { message } = pluginConfig;
+
+if (message.length) {
+    //...
+}
+```
+
+## Supporting Environment Variables
+
+Similar to `options`, environment variables exist to allow users to pass tokens and set special URLs. These are set on the `context` object instead of the `pluginConfig` object. Let's say we wanted to check for `GITHUB_TOKEN` in the environment because we want to post to GitHub on the user's behalf. To do this, we can add the following to our `verify` command:
+
+```js
+const { env } = context;
+
+if (env.GITHUB_TOKEN) {
+    //...
+}
+```

-It's recommended to run the `semantic-release` command in the [Travis `deploy` step](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/customizing-the-build/#The-Build-Lifecycle) so if an error occurs the build will fail and Travis will send a notification.
-
-**Note**: It's not recommended to run the `semantic-release` command in the Travis `script` step as each script in this step will be executed regardless of the outcome of the previous one. See [travis-ci/travis-ci#1066](https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/1066).

 # Troubleshooting

-## ENOTINHISTORY Commit not in history
-
-This error happens when the commit associated with the last release cannot be found in the branch history.
-
-Multiple situation can cause this issue:
- The package name configured in your `package.json` already exists and **semantic-release** obtains the last release of that package, which is unrelated to yours
- The commit history has been rewritten since the last release (with `git rebase` and `git push -f`)
-
-If the package name configured in your `package.json` already exits, you should change it, and commit the `package.json`. Then **semantic-release** will proceed normally and make the initial release.
-
-If you can identify the commit in your branch history that should be associated with the release version mentioned in the error message you can recover by tagging this commit:
-
-```bash
-$ git tag -f v<version of the last release> <commit sha1 corresponding to last release>
-$ git push -f --tags origin <your release branch>
-```
-
-## ENOGITHEAD There is no commit associated with last release
-
-This error happens when there is no commit associated with the last release that can be found in the package metadata on the npm registry.
-
-This usually happen when the last release has been made without access to the git repository informations.
-
-You can recover from that issue by identifying the commit in your branch history that should have been associated with the release version mentioned in the error message and tagging this commit:
-
-```bash
-$ git tag -f v<version of the last release> <commit sha1 corresponding to last release>
-$ git push -f --tags origin <your release branch>
-```

-This message is a little unclear, and might not have anything to with your `NPM_TOKEN` or authentication method. It might instead be related to the package name itself. If there is already a package with the same name as yours or, there is a very close match, it could trigger this error.
+This is most likely related to a misconfiguration of the [npm registry authentication](https://github.com/semantic-release/npm#npm-registry-authentication) or to your user [missing permission](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/team) for publishing.

-Best way to be sure, is to search [npmjs.org](https://www.npmjs.com/)) using your package name. If there is a name conflict, rename your package in your `package.json`
+It might also happen if the package name you are trying to publish already exists (in the case of npm, you may be trying to publish a new version of a package that is not yours, hence the permission error).
+
+To verify if your package name is available you can use [npm-name-cli](https://github.com/sindresorhus/npm-name-cli):
+```bash
+$ npm install --global npm-name-cli
+$ npm-name <package-name>

 **Note**: if the resulting squashed commit would encompasses multiple changes (for example multiple unrelated features or fixes) then it's probably not a good idea to squash those commits together.

 ## Run `semantic-release` only after all tests succeeded

-The `semantic-release` command must be executed only after all the tests in the CI build pass. If the build runs multiple jobs (for example to test on multiple Operating Systems or Node versions) the CI has to be configured to guarantee that the `semantic-release` command is executed only after all jobs are successful.

+## Existing version tags
+
+**semantic-release** uses [Git tags](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging) to determine the commits added since the last release.
+If a release has been published before setting up **semantic-release** you must make sure the most recent commit included in the last published release is in the [release branch](#branch) history and is tagged with the version released, formatted according to the [tag format](#tagformat) configured (defaults to `vx.y.z`).
+
+If the previous releases were published with [`npm publish`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/publish) this should already be the case.
+
+For example, if your release branch is `master`, the last release published on your project is `1.1.0` and the last commit included has the sha `1234567`, you must make sure this commit is in `master` history and is tagged with `v1.1.0`.
+
+```bash
+# Make sure the commit 1234567 is in the release branch history
+$ git branch --contains 1234567
+
+# If the commit is not in the branch history it means that either:
+# - you use a different branch than the one your release from before
+# - or the commit sha has been rewritten (with git rebase)
+# In both cases you need to configure your repository to have the last release commit in the history of the release branch
+
+# List the tags for the commit 1234567
+$ git tag --contains 1234567
