    In this tutorial, we’ll explore a method for automatically generating and releasing a changelog that uses Git hooks and Node.js. We’ll create a conventional commit message using a specific commit format called Conventional Commits and a tool called Commitizen. Then, we’ll use a library called standard-version to automatically generate a changelog and a new release version that follows semantic versioning.

    Finally, we’ll make our changelog shareable across the development team so that everyone follows the same conventions in the project. You can find the final code in this GitHub repository if you wish to follow along.
