[Feature Request] Please support global plugin configurations

Tools Info

semantic-release: v17.4.4, semantic-release-monorepo: v7.0.5

Problem

Hi @pmowrer , thanks for this tools. It’s really great and helpful.

Since as of semantic-release v17.4.4, there’s a feature for global plugin configurations, so I’d like to request that this tools support global plugin configurations too.

As of now, if I have config like this:

module.exports = {
  extends: ['semantic-release-monorepo'],
  branches: ['main'],
  plugins: [
    [
      '@semantic-release/commit-analyzer',
      {
        preset: 'conventionalcommits',
        presetConfig: {
          types: [
            { type: 'feat', section: '✨ Features' },
          ],
        },
      },
    ],
    [
      '@semantic-release/release-notes-generator',
      {
        preset: 'conventionalcommits',
        presetConfig: {
          types: [
            { type: 'feat', section: '✨ Features' },
          ],
        },
      },
    ],
    [
      '@semantic-release/changelog',
      {
        changelogFile: 'changelog.md',
    ],
    '@semantic-release/npm',
    [
      '@semantic-release/git',
      { /** truncated */ },
    ],
    '@semantic-release/github',
  ],
};

it would pick the configurations as expected. But that would unefficient because there’s repeated code/config.

If I try to use valid global plugin configurations with this monorepo tools:

module.exports = {
  extends: ['semantic-release-monorepo'],
  branches: ['main'],
  plugins: [
    '@semantic-release/commit-analyzer',
    '@semantic-release/release-notes-generator',
    [
      '@semantic-release/changelog',
      {
        changelogFile: 'changelog.md',
    ],
    '@semantic-release/npm',
    [
      '@semantic-release/git',
      { /** truncated */ },
    ],
    '@semantic-release/github',
  ],
  preset: 'conventionalcommits',
  presetConfig: {
    types: [
      { type: 'feat', section: '✨ Features' },
    ],
  },
};

this tool didn’t picked up the plugins configurations that would fallback to the default config which is not what I expected.

Please support global plugin configurations too. Thank you.

This project used to built using Travis CI but that platform no longer seems to be working. Need to get the build process migrated to github actions

The PR was merged, but no new version was released. As this repo doesn’t seem to be active anymore, I published a version “7.0.6” myself with this feature/fix. Should anybody need it you can find it here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@joca96/semantic-release-monorepo
