Github Release Notes

Node module that generates release notes based on commit messages or closed issues between tags. It also can create a full changelog or add the latest release notes to the existing changelog file.

If you want to include it in a task, you can use grunt-github-release-notes

Installation

Install github-release-notes via npm:

npm install github-release-notes -g

Setup

First generate a github token at this link. You only need "repo" scope. Then add this to ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zshrc):

export GREN_GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here

Basic Usage

# Navigate to your project directory
cd ~/Path/to/repo
# Run the task
gren

Otherwise, you can run it anywhere passing the repo information:

gren --username=[username] --repo=[repo name]

To use a specific token you can specify it as option:

gren --token=[your token]
