Manual Git Changelog\n\n[![Build status](https://github.com/rubensworks/manual-git-changelog.js/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/rubensworks/manual-git-changelog.js/actions?query=workflow%3ACI)\n[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/rubensworks/manual-git-changelog.js/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/rubensworks/manual-git-changelog.js?branch=master)\n[![Mutation testing badge](https://badge.stryker-mutator.io/github.com/rubensworks/manual-git-changelog.js/master)](https://stryker-mutator.github.io)\n[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/manual-git-changelog.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/manual-git-changelog)\n\nA simple tool for appending to a changelog based on git commits and tags.\n\nThis is an alternative to tools such as [conventional-changelog](https://www.npmjs.com/package/conventional-changelog-cli)\nfor projects that don't follow a specific [commit convention](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/),\nbut wanting to automate your `CHANGELOG.md` generation upon each release.\n\nThis tool does this by automating the creation of `CHANGELOG.md` as much as possible,\nbut allowing you to manually polish the file before committing.\n\nThis tool assumes that you use semantic versioned git tags _(like `v1.2.3` and `v2.0.1`)_.\n\nSome examples of changelogs that were generated with this tool:\n* https://github.com/comunica/comunica/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md\n* https://github.com/rubensworks/rdf-terms.js/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md\n\n## Installation\n\nIt is advised to install this tool as a dev dependency:\n\n```bash\n$ yarn add --dev manual-git-changelog\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nAfter installing, the `manual-git-changelog` script will become available.\nIt can be used to do three things:\n1. Initialize a new `CHANGELOG.md` file\n2. Add the changelog for an update while [`npm version`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/version) is running.\n3. Manually add the changelog for a particular version to `CHANGELOG.md`.\n\nThese usages will be explained hereafter.\n\n### Initialize\n\nBy running `manual-git-changelog init`,\nyou can create a new `CHANGELOG.md` file\nbased on your current version and git commits.\n\nThis command will fail when `CHANGELOG.md` already exists.\n\n### Automatic version appending\n\nIf you like more automation in your release process,\nthen you can hook this tool into `npm version`.\n\nYou can do this by adding the following script to your\n`package.json` file:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"scripts\": {\n    \"version\": \"manual-git-changelog onversion\"\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThis will make it so that each time you call `npm version`,\nthe changelog will automatically be updated to the new version.\n\nNote that this will temporarily pause the process\nto allow you to manually polish the changelog file,\nto allow you to categorize the commits.\nThis pausing happens when the following is printed to the console\n\n```bash\nManually edit CHANGELOG.md, press any key to finalize...\n```\n\nOnce you have edited `CHANGELOG.md`, and are satisfied with its structure,\ngo back to your console, press any key to continue.\nThe tool will automatically stage `CHANGELOG.md` so that it becomes\npart of the version bump commit as done by `npm version`.\n\n### Manual version appending\n\nAs an alternative to automatic changelog updates during `npm version`,\nyou can manually trigger a version log to be added to be added to your changelog.\nYou can call the command, with a certain version to set as new version _(ex: `v1.2.3`)_ as follows:\n\n```bash\n$ manual-git-changelog v1.2.3\n```\n\nThe previous available version (for example `v1.2.2`) will be automatically\ndetected from the git tags.\nAs such, this script assumes that `v1.2.3` has not been tagged yet.\n\nIf this version _would_ already be tagged,\nthen this script also allows you to define a custom version range\nthat does not try to infer the previous version from the git tags:\n\n```bash\n$ manual-git-changelog v1.2.2 v1.2.3\n```\n\n## License\nThis software is written by [Ruben Taelman](http://rubensworks.net/).\n\nThis code is released under the [MIT license](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frubensworks%2Fmanual-git-changelog.js","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frubensworks%2Fmanual-git-changelog.js","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frubensworks%2Fmanual-git-changelog.js/lists"}
