:blue_book: semantic-release plugin to create or update a changelog file
semantic-release plugin to create or update a changelog file.
| Step | Description | | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
verifyConditions| Verify the
changelogFileand
changelogTitleoptions configuration. | |
prepare| Create or update a changelog file in the local project directory with the changelog content created in the generate notes step. |
$ npm install @semantic-release/changelog -D
The plugin can be configured in the semantic-release configuration file:
{ "plugins": [ "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer", "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator", [ "@semantic-release/changelog", { "changelogFile": "docs/CHANGELOG.md" } ], [ "@semantic-release/git", { "assets": ["docs/CHANGELOG.md"] } ] ] }
With this example, for each release, a
docs/CHANGELOG.mdwill be created or updated.
| Options | Description | Default | | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | -------------- | |
changelogFile| File path of the changelog. |
CHANGELOG.md| |
changelogTitle| Title of the changelog file (first line of the file). | - |
When used with the @semantic-release/git or @semantic-release/npm plugins the
@semantic-release/changelogplugin must be called first in order to update the changelog file so the @semantic-release/git and @semantic-release/npm plugins can include it in the release.
