This is a PHP composer library fork based on the npm [standard-version](https://github.com/conventional-changelog/standard-version)!

Automatic versioning and CHANGELOG generation, using GitHub's squash button and [conventional commit messages](https://conventionalcommits.org).

*how it works:*

1. when you land commits on your `master` branch, select the *Squash and Merge* option.
2. add a title and body that follows the [Conventional Commits Specification](https://conventionalcommits.org).
3. when you're ready to release:
4. `git checkout master; git pull origin master`
5. run `standard-version`
6. `git push --follow-tags origin master && npm publish`

`standard-version` does the following:

1. bumps the version in *composer.json* (based on your commit history)
2. update *CHANGELOG.md*
3. commits *composer.json (et al.)* and *CHANGELOG.md*
4. tags a new release

```
git commit -a -m "fix(parsing): fixed a bug in our parser"
```

*features:*

```
git commit -a -m "feat(parser): we now have a parser \o/"
```

*breaking changes:*

```
git commit -a -m "feat(new-parser): introduces a new parsing library
BREAKING CHANGE: new library does not support foo-construct"
```

*other changes:*

You decide, e.g., docs, chore, etc.

```
git commit -a -m "docs: fixed up the docs a bit"
```

*but wait, there's more!*

Github usernames (`@bcoe`) and issue references (#133) will be swapped out for the appropriate URLs in your CHANGELOG.
