Love the serie, thanks a lot . But I have a small question, when forcing push, won't this break semantic release process and require you to make a manual publish ?

I'm glad you like the series! You're right to be concerned about force pushing. It can be dangerous and it can mess up semantic-release. But this is only true when you force push to the master branch. You can force push to any other branch just fine and because semantic-release doesn't do anything with those branches, it doesn't make a difference.

As a related note, I recommend that you protect your master branch from force pushes: https://help.github.com/articles/about-protected-branches/

This series is great! Kent you continue to impact some invaluable knowledge. I have been using OSS for years now and I took your advice to contribute and give back to the community. I just opened my first PR for code sandbox for I used almost everyday nowadays. This year is the year to start giving back to the community and get my name out there on the map. Cheers!
