# @citycide/changelog · [![Version](https://flat.badgen.net/npm/v/@citycide/changelog)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@citycide/changelog) [![License](https://flat.badgen.net/npm/license/@citycide/changelog)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@citycide/changelog) [![JavaScript Standard Style](https://flat.badgen.net/badge/code%20style/standard/green)](https://standardjs.com)

> standard-changelog customized with a few personal tweaks.

See [convention](convention.md). The commit conventions are the same
as the original Angular version, but their appearance in the changelog
has been updated.

## installation

```sh
npm i @citycide/changelog
```

## overview

**TL;DR:** init with `changelog -f`, commit, update `package.json:version`, run `changelog`

If this is your first time running `changelog` or to start a fresh file,
use the `--first-release` or `-f` flag:

```shell
# defaults to the filename `changelog.md`
changelog -f

# uses the given filename
changelog -f -i RELEASE_HISTORY.md
```

Once you have a file started, you just need to follow these steps:

1. commit your changes using [Angular commit conventions](convention.md)
2. increment your project's version in `package.json` as necessary
3. run `changelog` to add the latest version's changes
4. create a GitHub release / tag for the latest update

```sh
changelog

# for other filenames
changelog -i RELEASE_HISTORY.md

# read in one file, output to another
changelog -i CHANGES.MD -o RELEASE_HISTORY.md
```

## usage

```
Usage:
