Changelog

Stop the changelog merge conflict madness!

This tool helps you maintaining a CHANGELOG by creating one file per entry and bundling them together before you release a new version of your application.

This tool was inspired by the article 'How we solved GitLab's CHANGELOG conflict crisis' from Gitlab. And yeah well I used some of their code too... At this point, I want to say thank you to the Gitlab team for the great work you guys are doing. 👏👏👏

Install changelog using

gem install changelog-madness

Create a new entry by running

changelog 

#this is an alias for `changelog gen`

this will create a new file in the changelogs/unreleased/ folder.

Run changelog help gen to see all available options

Bundle all the unreleased entries by running

# changelog bundle <VERSION>
changelog bundle 2.3.1

this will create or update the CHANGELOG.md

Run changelog help bundle to see all available options

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
