git-cliff is a terminal tool that can generate changelog from the Git history by using conventional commits, as well as by using regex-powered parsers and you can even change the changelog template itself by using a configuration file. This tool is a great example of text parsing on the terminal and also uses clap_mangen which generates man pages. Useful for anyone who is serious about looking into making a production-ready terminal tool!
Open source libraries and frameworks share a common necessity: the need to develop multiple packages cohesively and efficiently while managing their versioning and publishing to NPM. Nx has emerged as a go-to choice for handling such open source monorepos (as we'll explore further in the next section of this blog post). Until recently, one area Nx did not address directly was versioning and release management. Traditionally, this gap has been filled with tools like release-it, changesets, or custom Node scripts, similar to our approach in the Nx repository.
