GitHub Changelog Generator
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
[](http://badge.fury.io/rb/github_changelog_generator)
|
|
|
|
Changelog generation has never been so easy.
|
|
|
|
This script automatically generate change-log from your tags and merged pull-requests.
|
|
|
|
## Installation:
|
|
You're almost done!
|
|
|
|
[sudo] gem install github_changelog_generator
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
**It's really simple**:
|
|
|
|
- If your **git remote** `origin` refer to your GitHub repo, then just go to your project folder just 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
|
|

|
|
-l, --last-changes Generate log between last 2 tags only
|
|

|
|

|
|
-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.
|
|
|
|
## Examples:
|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
