Automate versioning and CHANGELOG generation, with semver.org and conventionalcommits. A utility for versioning using semver and CHANGELOG generation powered by Conventional Commits. This has the benefit of making your repo/package more portable so that other developers can cut releases without having to globally install standard-version on their machines. Any of the command line parameters accepted by standard-version can instead be provided via configuration. Please refer to the conventional-changelog-config-spec for details on available configuration options. As long as your git commit messages are conventional and accurate, you no longer need to specify the semver type - and you get CHANGELOG generation for free! If you use git hooks, like pre-commit, to test your code before committing, you can prevent hooks from being verified during the commit step by passing the --no-verify option.
