npm install --save-dev shelljs-changelog
Now, add a script
to package.json
like so:
"scripts": {
"test": "... whatever you had here before ...",
"changelog": "shelljs-changelog"
},
You'll need to have curl
installed in order to use this script.
Also, make sure you have internet access when running this.
