FAQPage Schema

How do I automate semantic versioning and changelog generation from conventional commits?▼

Automate semantic versioning by analyzing conventional commits to determine version bumps, automatically updating version files, and generating multi-language changelogs with contributor attribution. It handles the end-to-end release workflow including creating release commits and tags.

Can I automatically bump versions for Python and Rust projects using conventional commits?▼

Yes, automated version bumping supports Python and Rust projects alongside Node.js and Claude Plugins. It auto-detects project version files and intelligently determines the appropriate version increment based on your conventional commit history.

What is the best way to preview a release before applying version changes and tags?▼

The best way to preview a release is using the supported dry-run mode. Dry-run mode allows you to preview version bumps, changelog updates, and release commits before any actual execution or changes are applied to your repository.

How do I generate multi-language changelogs with third-party contributor attribution?▼

Generate multi-language changelogs automatically during the release workflow by parsing commit history. It produces files like CHANGELOG.md and CHANGELOG.zh.md while automatically attributing third-party contributors and grouping changes by skill or module.

Does automated release tooling work without external dependencies or complex environment setup?▼

Yes, the automated release tooling operates with no external dependencies. It functions standalone to detect version files, parse conventional commits, generate changelogs, and create release tags directly within your current development environment.

When should I not use automated end-to-end release workflows?▼

You should not use automated end-to-end release workflows if your project lacks a conventional commit history or does not utilize standard version files. It requires structured commit messages to intelligently determine version bumps and group changes by module.
