Changelog Generator - v0.14.0

Details

changelog-gen is a CHANGELOG generator, to detect semantic versioning changes from conventional commits, and generate release tags.

See the docs for more details.

Usage

changelog init will generate an empty changelog file if you have not been maintaining changelogs previously. If you already have a changelog file, it will be detected.

changelog generate will extract all commits matching the conventional format since the last release, detect the correct semantic version component to increment, and generate the correct changelog entry. Depending on configuration, it will also update release tags in files as well as tagging the release.
