Description

In the monorepo project I'm working on, We want to publish our packages in the ci/cd pipeline. I have some packages that should be bumped but not published.

Right now I was thinking on implementing it by bumping the files locally and then publishing the bumped packages with a --scope flag to only publish certain packages to the registry.

As of now I don't see a way to do this without publish bumping the versions again. Am I missing something? A flag or config setting? Adding --no-bump has no effect to the version number.

As an example here are the commands I run:

npx beachball change --all --type prerelease --no-commit --message 'Prepare packages for update'

npx beachball bump --prereleasePrefix next --keepChangeFiles

npx beachball publish --tag next --no-push --no-bump --scope CORRECT_SCOPE_HERE

Research direction

Start by reproducing the separate beachball change, bump, and publish --no-bump --scope commands from the issue and trace their release entry points. The change is done when packages can be bumped without publishing, then selected packages can be published without another version bump, with the existing scope and prerelease options preserved.
