Overview

Changelogd allows teams to avoid merge conflicts for the changelog files. The changelogd content is stored within multiple YAML files - one per each changelog entry. Then, during application release, all input files are combined into one release file. The script uses Jinja2 templates to generate one consistent text file out of all input YAML files. The default output format is Markdown, but by modifying the templates it can be changed into any text format you like.

Installation

You can install changelogd via pip from PyPI:

$ pip install changelogd
