Use regex group value in commit_parsers

[erwinc1]

In commit_preprocessors we can specify a regex pattern and use the value of the group in the replace field.

Excample:

commit_preprocessors = [
     { pattern = '.*#([0-9]+)', replace = "([#${0}](https://dev.azure.com/raboweb/Skunk%20Works/_backlogs/backlog/MyTeam/Backlog%20items/?workitem=${1}))"},
]

Is it possible to do the same for commit_parsers?

commit_parsers = [
    { message = ".*(#[0-9]+)", group = '${1}', default_scope = "other"},
]

This renders ${1} in the output

Hello @erwinc1, thanks for reporting this! 🐻

This is now implemented in 7767ace it will be available with the upcoming release.

You can use it as follows:

# regex for parsing and grouping commits
commit_parsers = [
    { message = '^fix\((.*)\)', group = 'Fix (${1})' },
    { message = '^feat\((.*)\)', group = 'Feat (${1})' },
]

Results in:

## [1.0.0] - 2021-07-18

### Feat (parser)

- Add ability to parse arrays

### Fix (args)

- Rename help argument due to conflict
