About changelog
This plugin is inspired and based on Keep a CHANGELOG project. Keep a CHANGELOG proposes a standardised format for keeping change log of your project repository in CHANGELOG.md file. This file contains a curated, chronologically ordered list of notable changes for each version of a project in human readable format.
Since Keep a CHANGELOG project proposes a well-defined structure with sections (e.g.: [Unreleased]
, 0.3.0]
) and subsections (Added
, Changed
, Deprecated
, Removed
, Fixed
, Security
) it opens up an opportunity to automate reading from/writing to CHANGELOG.md with fastlane
.
Getting started
cd
to your project foldertouch CHANGELOG.md
- open CHANGELOG.md in your favourite text editor
- paste the following:
## [Unreleased]
Actions
read_changelog
Reads the content of a section from your project's CHANGELOG.md
file. CHANGELOG.md
must follow structure proposed by Keep a CHANGELOG project.
read_changelog # Reads the "Unreleased" section from CHANGELOG.md in your project's folder
read_changelog(
changelog_path: './custom_folder/CHANGELOG.md', # Specify path to CHANGELOG.md
section_identifier: '[Unreleased]', # Specify what section to read
excluded_markdown_elements: '["###"]' # Specify which markdown elements should be excluded
)
Use the output of this action in conjunction with for example pilot
to upload your change log to TestFlight or with github_release
to create a new release on Github.
