## git changelog
|
||||
|
||||
Populate a file whose name matches `change|history -i_` with commits
|
||||
since the previous tag. (If there are no tags, populates commits since the project began.)
|
||||
Generates a changelog from git(1) tags (annotated or lightweight) and commit messages. Existing changelog files with filenames that begin with _Change_ or _History_ will be identified automatically with a case insensitive match pattern and existing content will be appended to the new output generated--this behavior can be disabled by specifying the prune option (-p|--prune-old). The generated file will be opened in **$EDITOR** when set.
|
||||
|
||||
Opens the changelog in `$EDITOR` when set.
|
||||
If no tags exist, then all commits are output; if tags exist, then only the most-recent commits are output up to the last identified tag. This behavior can be changed by specifing one or both of the range options (-f|--final-tag and -s|--start-tag).
|
||||
|
||||
The following options are available:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
-a, --all Retrieve all commits (ignores --start-tag, --final-tag)
|
||||
-l, --list Display commits as a list, with no titles
|
||||
-t, --tag Tag label to use for most-recent (untagged) commits
|
||||
-f, --final-tag Newest tag to retrieve commits from in a range
|
||||
-s, --start-tag Oldest tag to retrieve commits from in a range
|
||||
-n, --no-merges Suppress commits from merged branches
|
||||
-p, --prune-old Replace existing Changelog entirely with new content
|
||||
-x, --stdout Write output to stdout instead of to a Changelog file
|
||||
-h, --help, ? Usage help
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Type `git changelog --help` for basic usage or `man git-changelog` for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE:** By default, `git changelog` will concatenate the content of any detected changelog to its output. Use the `-p` option to prevent this behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Generate a new changelog consisting of all commits since the last tag, use the tag name _1.5.2_ for the title of this recent commits section (the date will be generated automatically as today's date):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ git changelog --tag 1.5.2 && cat History.md
|
||||
|
||||
1.5.2 / 2010-08-05
|
||||
1.5.2 / 2015-03-15
