A module that generates changelogs based on git tags.

Changelog Generator

A module that generates changelogs based on git tags. It uses conventional commits (conventionalcommits.org) to read and scope commits. Markdown is used for formating.

Commands

$ pychangelog generate [<path>] [--branch=<string>] [--types=<list>] [--bodytags=<list>]

• generates new CHANGELOG.md file at the repo root
• overrides old CHANGELOG.md

$ pychangelog add [<path>] [--branch=<string>] [--types=<list>] [--bodytags=<list>]

• keeps the content of old CHANGELOG.md while appending new versions

$ pychangelog printout [<path>] [--branch=<string>] [--types=<list>] [--bodytags=<list>]

• prints the generated changelog in the terminal instead of writing it in the CHANGELOG.md
• does not touch CHANGELOG.md
