Automating versioning and changelog generation involves bumping versions based on commit history and creating categorized release notes. This skill processes Git commit history to automatically determine the next version and generate a categorized changelog for publishing.
Yes, you can preview changelog generation and version bumps using the dry-run capability. This allows you to review the generated changes and verify the version increment before creating a Git tag or publishing to GitHub.
Creating a patch release is best handled by automating version increments, generating changelogs, and tagging. This skill supports major, minor, and patch version increments, integrating with git and GitHub CLI to tag and publish releases directly.
No, you do not need to specify an explicit version number when creating a GitHub release. This skill supports automatic major, minor, and patch version bumps, but it also accepts an explicit version specification if you require a specific target version.
Automated changelog generation parses your git commit history to categorize changes for the new release. It extracts commit messages and organizes them into a structured changelog, which is then attached to the published GitHub release.
The dry-run capability allows you to preview version bumps and generated changelogs without making actual changes. It is limited to previewing; no Git tags are created and nothing is published to GitHub until you execute the release without the dry-run option.
