changelogkeeper

Write changelog using keepachangelog conventions

Installation

$ npm install --save-dev @luizalabs/changelogkeeper

Usage

Add these scripts to package.json:

// package.json
"scripts": {
  ...
  "commitChangelog": "git add CHANGELOG.md && git commit -m 'Bump changelog'",
  "postversion": "changelogkeeper && npm run commitChangelog",
  ...
}

And then run npm version:

npm version [major | minor | patch | ...]

It will read the package version and update the changelog accordingly.

Options

If you have your changelog in another location you can pass the relative path like this:

// package.json
"postversion": "changelogkeeper '../CHANGELOG.md' && npm run commitChangelog"
