Cannot pass token to npm script anymore

[wintercounter]

This started to happen with the recent updates. Until now this was working fine:

// package.json
{
    "scripts": {
        "release": "conventional-github-releaser -t"
    }
}

npm run release -- MY_TOKEN

But I started to get the following error:

C:\...es\conventional-github-releaser\node_modules\meow\node_modules\minimist-options\index.js:101
                                        throw new TypeError(`Expected "${key}" default value to be of type "${expectedType}", got ${prettyPrint(defaultType)}`);
                                        ^

I'm getting the same. I've locked to v3.1.3.

We cannot even run in cli conventional-github-releaser --help, it breaks also with the same message

I'm not sure about previous behavior, but I was able to work around the issue by supplying a CONVENTIONAL_GITLAB_RELEASER_TOKEN environment variable, even just a dummy one to get the help working, e.g.:

CONVENTIONAL_GITLAB_RELEASER_TOKEN=asdf conventional-gitlab-releaser --help

Obviously there is still a bug, though: it shouldn't take a dummy token to print the help documentation.

Updating https://github.com/conventional-changelog/releaser-tools/blob/master/packages/conventional-github-releaser/src/cli.js#L50 should fix this:

-       default: process.env.CONVENTIONAL_GITHUB_RELEASER_TOKEN,
+       default: process.env.CONVENTIONAL_GITHUB_RELEASER_TOKEN || '',

v3.1.5 still error.
