execution information:

This script aim to provide changelogs on git-tracked projects. Run changelog.py script in your directory and it'll generate the changelog file. In order to obtain actual changelog, run:

You can use git changelog from command line directly:

# ... code on project
git commit                                                    #add your commit message on work you've done
python3 -m changelog_md vX.Y.Z "Annotation for this version" #generate changelog
git add changelog.md                                          #stage the changelog to current commit
git commit --amend                                            #add the changelog to current commit, leave commit message as is.
git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Annotation for this version"            #add the tag you've set earlier in changelog.
git push --follow-tags                                        #publish your changes and the new tag.

Or you can elaborate your workflow python scripts to use changelog_md as a python module:

# CICD_script.py
# ... do some CICD work

from changelog_md import logger
l = logger('vX.Y.Z', 'Annotation for this version')           #create logger instance
l.make()                                                      #print the log

# ... do other CICD work
