Lack of CHANGELOG.md file

[lilien1010]

in the lastest 3.2.5 release, the release log is check the CHANGELOG.md xxx

but there is no CHANGELOG.md in the repo

[vmihailenco]

There are 2 options:

• change the message to something like "Check commits for details"
• start maintaining a changelog

Which do you prefer?

[lilien1010]

I'd like to maintain a CHANGELOG.md in the repo,
like this

[vmihailenco]

Me too, but I never had enough discipline to do it :) It looks like https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/ and some tool to generate a changelog. Do you have any experience with setting up the build for such workflow?

[lilien1010]

I don't have that experience either, But we can try to start with some workflow by learning from other projects.

[vmihailenco]

Do you have a good example of Go projects that use conv commits with Git hooks? So far I've only seen JS projects, but they require package.json file...

[lilien1010]

no sure this is what you want
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/auto-generate-changelog

[vmihailenco]

Yep, that is useful - thanks. But what is missing is something like https://typicode.github.io/husky/#/ - commit linter that does not require JS (or some way to use husky with Go projects).

Changelog should be auto-generated with commitlint - see 22e4d67. Closing.
