Changelog generation has never been so easy.
**Fully automate changelog generation** - This script automatically generate change-log from your tags, issues and merged pull-requests from your project's **Github issue tracker**.
## Installation:
[sudo] gem install github_changelog_generator
## Output example:
- Look at **[CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/skywinder/Github-Changelog-Generator/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)** for this project
- [ActionSheetPicker-3.0/CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/skywinder/ActionSheetPicker-3.0/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) was generated by command:
github_changelog_generator -u skywinder -p ActionSheetPicker-3.0

##Features and the benefits and advantages of this project to others:
- Custom date format supported
- Automatically split issues by type:
- **Issues** (closed issues w/o any labels)
- **Merged pull-requests** (all merged pull-requests)
- **Bug-fixes** (by label `bug` in issue)
- **Enhancements** (by label `enhancement` in issue)
- Excluding "questions" from changelog (issues marked as `question` labels)
- Ability to manually specify in which version issue was fixed (in case, when closed date is not match) by setting `milestone` of issue the same name as tag of required version
- Ability to exclude some issues from changelog (by labels)
## Usage:
**It's really simple**:
- If your **git remote** `origin` refer to your GitHub repo, then just go to your project folder and run:
github_changelog_generator
- or from anywhere:
github_changelog_generator -u github_username -p github_project
As output you will get `CHANGELOG.md` file with pretty *Markdown-formatted* changelog.
### Params:
Type `github_changelog_generator --help` for detailed usage.
Usage: changelog_generator [options]
-u, --user [USER] Username of the owner of target GitHub repo
-p, --project [PROJECT] Name of project on GitHub
-t, --token [TOKEN] To make more than 50 requests this script required your OAuth token for GitHub. You can generate here: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new
-h, --help Displays Help
--[no-]verbose Run verbosely. Default is true
--[no-]issues Include closed issues to changelog. Default is true
--[no-]issues-without-labels Include closed issues without any labels to changelog. Default is true
--[no-]pull-requests Include pull-requests to changelog. Default is true
-l, --last-changes Generate log between last 2 tags only
--[no-]author Add author of pull-request in the end. Default is true
-f, --date-format [FORMAT] Date format. Default is %d/%m/%y
-o, --output [NAME] Output file. Default is CHANGELOG.md
--labels x,y,z List of labels. Issues with that labels will be included to changelog. Default is 'bug,enhancement'
-v, --version Print version number
### GitHub token
Since GitHub allow to make only 50 requests without authentication it's recommended to run this script with token
**You can easily [generate it here](https://github.com/settings/applications)**.
And:
- Run with key `-t [your-16-digit-token]`
- Or set environment variable `CHANGELOG_GITHUB_TOKEN` and specify there your token.
i.e. add to your `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.zshrc` or any other place to load ENV variables string :
export CHANGELOG_GITHUB_TOKEN="your-40-digit-github-token"
So, if you got error like this:
>! /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/github_api-0.12.2/lib/github_api/response/raise_error.rb:14:in `on_complete'
It's time to create this token or wait for 1 hour before GitHub reset the counter for your IP.
