Semantic release isn't publishing dist files when a new version is released

[jhackett1]

semantic-release should build css and js files and commit them in the dist directory whenever it releases a new version to npm:

      [
        "@semantic-release/git",
        {
          "assets": [
            "dist/**/*.{js,css}",
            "package.json",
            "CHANGELOG.md"
          ],
          "message": "chore(release): ${nextRelease.version} [skip ci]\n\n${nextRelease.notes}"
        }
      ]

this isn't happening.

it is committing new changelog.md and package.json files, so something about committing the dist files in particular is causing trouble.

investigate:

• config syntax
• are build files being pushed to npm but not git? or not at all?
• what happens during a dry run?

have opened an issue on the semantic release plugin in case it's an issue there: semantic-release/git#262

may be fixable by changing the glob of assets to commit: semantic-release/git#155 (comment)

didn't work
