[Task Runner](https://github.com/openeuropa/task-runner) commands for generating and handling the changelog.

This is a CLI command that generates a changelog using the [OpenEuropa Taskrunner](https://github.com/openeuropa/task-runner). It wraps the [github-changelog-generator](https://github.com/github-changelog-generator/github-changelog-generator)project.

This generates changelogs for projects that:

1. Are publicly hosted on GitHub.
2. Use GitHub issues and pull requests to manage development.
3. Publish releases on GitHub.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/)
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/get-docker)
- A [Github access token](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add the project as a composer dependency inside the project for which to generate changelogs:

```
$ composer require openeuropa/task-runner-changelog
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

A GitHub Access token is required. It is advised to create a new token to use exclusively for this command.

The following examples will generate a changelog in the file `CHANGELOG.md`which will be placed in the project root folder.

```
# Generate a changelog for an unreleased development version.
$ ./vendor/bin/run changelog:generate --token=TOKEN
```

```
# Generate a changelog for an upcoming 1.2.3 release.
$ ./vendor/bin/run changelog:generate --token=TOKEN --tag=1.2.3
```
