conventional-changelog VS semantic-release

conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits is a package used for creating conventional commits and has a bit more configuration possibilities with changelogs in contrast to the default Angular commit scheme.

Finally, it is also interesting to be able to automatically generate the CHANGELOG file from the commit messages. There are various tools for this, one of them is Conventional Changelog

Some projects generate change logs automatically from commits. For example, angular uses conventional-changelog.

I'm under the understanding from this issue that in semver, a package that is <1.0.0 is considered unstable. This means that a breaking change can occur at any version, usually between minors.

I dont use myself, but some people follows something like the conventional commit spec, and then uses a generator.

@semantic-release/commit-analyzer It determines the type of our release (e.g. major, minor, patch) by analyzing commits with conventional-changelog. semantic-release uses Angular Commit Message Conventions by default.

I'm trying to improve the security behind our release process, which uses semantic-release. During this process, it creates a change log which is committed to the repo, publishes a package and a few other things.

Conventional commits specification contains a set of rules for creating an explicit commit history, which makes it easier to write automated tools on top of, for example, semantic release. You can manually follow this convention in your project or use a tool to assist you, such as Commitizen.

When working with JavaScript projects, managing version numbers and commit messages is important for the maintainability of the project. Since 2020 I have been the main developer of Atomic Calendar Revive a highly customisable Home Assistant calendar card, I found maintaining versions and releases to be cumbersome until recently. In this article, I will introduce the commitizen and semantic-release packages for creation or appropriate commit messages and semantic versioning. I will also provide examples of how I am currently using these packages to streamline my release workflow and project maintenance.

To further streamline deployments, I introduced semantic-release. This tool automates commit tagging and tracks changes since the previous version. As a result, deployments now occur only when new tags are present, saving us valuable minutes.

If your projects ar made in javascript and related tools, I'd suggest you to check: semantic-release
