Hugo Changelog Theme
=====

A [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) theme to display a changelog

# Features
- Build with [Spectre.css](https://picturepan2.github.io/spectre/) (All unused components are disabled)
- Pagination
- Mobile friendly

# How to install
- Clone the repository with `--recursive` flag as the theme includes submodule
```bash
git clone [email protected]:jsnjack/hugo-changelog-theme.git --recursive
```
- Use hugo extended version

# Workflow

## Conventions
- Create non-released entries in `experimental/` folder. All of them are displayed in the top of the first page
- Create deprecation entries in `deprecated/` folder. Deprecated entries appear in a dropdown section on top of the first page
- Create released entries in `released/` folders. Entries are sorted by Weight. Weight is displayed as version
- Your hugo changelog website is located in `site/changelog/` folder
- You are using `master` branch as the stable branch and `develop` branch as a working branch (needed for the post-merge webhook only)

## Scripts
- `Makefile` - list of useful commands
- `release.py` - moves changes from the `experimental/` folder to the `released/` folder, assigns version number and generates release-commit
- `.githooks/post-merge` - verifies that `experimental/` folder is empty during the merge from the working branch to the stable branch

## Dependencies
- For release script:
```bash
sudo pip install python-frontmatter
```

## Description
1. When a pull request is ready, a developer creates a changelog entry:
```bash
make change
```
The command creates a *.md file with random name (ensures that there will be no merge conflicts) in `site/changelog/content/experimental/` folder

2. If necessary, the developer creates a deprecation entry:
```bash
make deprecation
```
The command creates a *.md file with random name (ensures that there will be no merge conflicts) in `site/changelog/content/deprecated/` folder.
Note that deprecation entries are not removed automatically. When a certain deprecated feature reaches the end of life period, the corresponding
file in the `deprecation/` folder has to be removed manually

3. The developer updates created files with changes. Changes are going to be rendered in the `experimental` section of the template

4. Preview the site with the command:
```bash
make serve_changelog
```

5. When the working branch is ready to be merged in the stable branch, the developer runs:
```bash
make release
```
The command will move all *.md files from the `experimental/` folder to the `released/` folder, assign the release version and generate the commit with related changes

6. The developer merges working branch in to the stable branch

# Shortcodes
- `{{< tag fixed >}}` - create a specific tag before entry text. Available tag types are: added, changed, fixed, deprecated, removed, performance, security, self-hosted
