Workflow

We can generate change logs from our commits if we follow the priniciples of conventional commits.

We can use standard-version to automatically generate change logs(uses conventional commits) and version our code(uses semver).

Setup standard-version

1. Install standard-version

npm i --save-dev standard-version

1. Add release script in package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "release": "standard-version"
  }
}

1. Generate first release

npm run release -- --first-release

1. For subsequent releases

npm run release
# can add **tags** option to generate tag
