By default lerna-changelog
will show all pull requests that have been merged
since the latest tagged commit in the repository. That is however only true for
pull requests with certain labels applied. The labels that are supported by
default are:
breaking
(:boom: Breaking Change)enhancement
(:rocket: Enhancement)bug
(:bug: Bug Fix)documentation
(:memo: Documentation)internal
(:house: Internal)You can also use the --from
and --to
options to view a different
range of pull requests:
npx lerna-changelog --from=v1.0.0 --to=v2.0.0
If you have a packages folder and your projects in subfolders of that folder lerna-changelog
will detect it and include the package names in the changelog for the relevant changes.
Since lerna-changelog
interacts with the GitHub API you may run into rate
limiting issues which can be resolved by supplying a "personal access token":
export GITHUB_AUTH="..."
You'll need a personal access token
for the GitHub API with the repo
scope for private repositories or just
public_repo
scope for public repositories.
You can configure lerna-changelog
in various ways. The easiest way is by
adding a changelog
key to the package.json
file of your project:
{
// ...
"changelog": {
"labels": {
"feature": "New Feature",
"bug": "Bug Fix"
}
}
}
The supported options are:
repo
: Your "org/repo" on GitHub
(automatically inferred from the package.json
file)
nextVersion
: Title for unreleased commits
(e.g. Unreleased
)
labels
: GitHub PR labels mapped to changelog section headers
ignoreCommitters
: List of committers to ignore (exact or partial match).
Useful for example to ignore commits from bots.
cacheDir
: Path to a GitHub API response cache to avoid throttling
(e.g. .changelog
)
