CHANGELOG Suggest

Writing CHANGELOGs can be a grueling task but git logs can help you create a suggested CHANGELOG. The intention of this tool is to remove some of the grunt work involved checking diffs to write CHANGELOGs.

Installation

You can install changelog-suggest through pip:

pip install changelog-suggest

Usage

Command line usage:

usage: changelog [-h] -s START [-e END] -v VERSION [-i ISSUE]
                 [-u ISSUE_URL_PREFIX]

Publish suggested CHANGELOG from git commits

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s START, --start START
                        Enter commit/tag/branch you want CHANGELOG from
  -e END, --end END     Enter commit/tag/branch you want CHANGELOG to. Default
                        value is set to `master` branch
  -v VERSION, --version VERSION
                        Enter new version number for the CHANGELOG
  -i ISSUE, --issue ISSUE
                        Enter issue ID pattern. Should be a regex pattern to
                        look for
  -u ISSUE_URL_PREFIX, --issue-url-prefix ISSUE_URL_PREFIX
                        Enter issue URL prefix. If your issues are on github
                        then it could be https://github.com/<username
                        >/<repository-name>/issues/<issue-number>
