changelog.md

How does it work

• Get last version from git tag, if no tags it defaults to 0.0.0
• Get the commits since last version
  • Prompt user to enter the type of each commit
  • Infer the new version from the types of all commits
• Generate markdown string from commits and prompt answers
• Create or prepend to CHANGELOG.md and update package.json version field
• Commits changes and create new git tag

Install

$ yarn global add changelog.md

Usage

$ changelog

Recipes

Commit types

• patch: Bug fixes
• minor: Backward-compatible updates
• major: Introducing breaking changes
• ignore: Do not include this commit in changelog

Besides choosing ignore in prompts to exclude commits in changelog, the commit message that starts with [skip] [ignore] [skip $foo] [ignore $foo] will also be excluded.

Work with npm publish

# made some changes to your code...
$ git add -am "change the world"
$ npm test
$ changelog
$ git push --follow-tags
$ npm publish
