Changelog generator based on the Angular git commit message conventions. Similar to conventional-changelog.
WORK IN PROGRESS - no tests yet, might contain errors
Checkout the Angular repo (git checkout https://github.com/angular/angular) in another folder and run the following command:
→ REPO=../angular/.git node examples/basic.jsThat will output the changelog in markdown format.
..of the lib + example:
Invalid semver tags && commit messages that don't adhere to the git message convention are ignored when generating the changelog. If a commit is reverted for the same version by another commit, then their info won't be included in the changelog output. If a commit isn't a feature, bug fix, performace improvement, reverts another commit and doesn't have breaking changes then its info won't be included in the changelog output.

Q: Why reinvent the wheel since conventional-changelog already does this?
A: I wanted to learn more about its internals since the documentation is a bit scarce and I also wanted a more flexible option in terms of output (so one could use their own template).
