Dry run option for publish scripts

Our publish scripts don't have a dry run option. When something is changed in the scripts or related to publishing, tests are handled manually, which can accidentally cause the publishing of a new version. Having a dry run option would be useful for both working on the scripts and before running the actual release.

The dry run option can  do the below bullets

• Ignore having a clean state in terms of Git maybe?
• Run all the tests as if it is a real publishing
• Check if possible to publish the tag
• Check if possible to publish the version
