`npm: false` is not a valid config

[snebjorn]

I'm trying to setup release-it and I noticed this in your documentaion

workspaces/README.md

Line 55 in c00c5ec

"npm": false

however it doesn't seem to be valid. I'm getting this error from typescript

Type 'false' has no properties in common with type '{ publish?: boolean | undefined; publishPath?: string | undefined; publishArgs?: any[] | undefined; tag?: any; otp?: any; ignoreVersion?: boolean | undefined; allowSameVersion?: boolean | undefined; versionArgs?: any[] | undefined; skipChecks?: boolean | undefined; timeout?: number | undefined; }'

export default {
  npm: false,
  // ... omitted
} satisfies Config;

and looking at the release-it docs it's not mentioned.

However having npm: false does change behavior.

Without it a dry run prints

npm version <OMITTED> --no-git-tag-version

With npm: false it doesn't.

But even with npm.ignoreVersion: true it'll print npm version <OMITTED> --no-git-tag-version

I'm confused.

Anyway npm: false doesn't appear to be a supported config, but without it the release flow will fail if npm.allowSameVersion: true isn't set.

What is going on?

I was having the error ERROR npm error Version not changed when running the release-it cli using this plugin. It was fixed with npm.allowSameVersion: true too.
