# Github changelog generator

This command line utility generates changelog for a Github repository.

The changelog generation is fully customizable via golang [templates](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/).

## Example

Github requires OAUTH token to access its API. [Generate a token here.](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?description=GitHub%20Changelog%20Generator%20token)

The executable can be downloaded from Github releases page.

```bash

docker run --rm  pavolloffay/gch:latest --oauth-token 

# the binary is in /app folder in the docker image

docker run --rm  -v "${PWD}:/app" pavolloffay/gch:latest --oauth-token  --template /app/templates/chrono-list.md

```

Examples can be found in [examples](./examples) directory.

### Templates

The binary contains predefined templates directly in the executable, however `--template` flag

can be used to supply any template.

* `chrono-list.md` - Chronologically order list of all pull requests split into tags.

* `all-labels.md` - Pull requests are split into labels, unlabeled commits are in a separate category.

* `default-labels.md` - Pull requests are split into bugs and enhancements.

The templates splitting pull requests into categories require proper labeling.

## Writing a custom template

Template uses golang [template](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) language to render the data.

The default examples can be found in [templates](./templates) directory and these are also compiled

into the binary. The object passed to the template is `TemplateData` defined in [pkg/templates/model.go](./pkg/templates/model.go).

The struct uses objects from [go-github](https://github.com/google/go-github) which are exposed in the templates.

```go

go run ./cmd/main.go --template 

```

## Develop

```bash

make build

./buld/gch

```
