feat(meta 46): update CI to update CHANGELOG
What:
Important: this will require standardizing commit headers. See formatting notes here: https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog/tree/master/packages/conventional-changelog-angular
Update Less.js GitHub CI with the capability to automatically update CHANGELOG.md on certain master pushes/PR merges.
Should resolve: https://github.com/less/less-meta/issues/46
If a push or PR merge to master branch has a commit which has a header containing "Release v" the changelog CI will run and automatically commit changes to CHANGELOG.md.
Format:
On master push:
[commit header] ([commit hash])
On PR merge: [commit header] ([PR link]) ([commit hash])
CHANGELOG.md sample:
Why:
Currently CHANGELOG.md maintenance is a manual effort which takes time and can be error prone.
Checklist:
- [ ] Documentation
- [ ] Added/updated unit tests
- [x] Code complete
Should preserve historical CHANGELOG.md contents created via different means.
We can tweak the change formatting by adding a new configuration file, I went with the default angular style that did not require adding a configuration file.
