cargo-changelog

Changelog management tool for CLI.

cargo-changelog is a merge-friendly changelog management utility.

Usage

Changelogs are (by default) created with cargo-changelog new in in /.changelogs/unreleased, using a timestamp for their names.

Once you are done with one release, cargo-changelog generate <version> (for example cargo changelog generate minor for the next minor version) will take all unreleased changelogs and move them to /.changelogs/0.1.0 (if "0.1.0" is your next minor version - you can of course also specify an explicit version with the generate subcommand). After that you can create your final CHANGELOG.md file using cargo-changelog release.

You can configure cargo-changelog in /.changelog.toml and add mandatory or optional metadata fields to your changelog entries. You can also specify a template file that gets used when rendering your changelogs to your final CHANGELOG.md file.
