fix: create CHANGELOG.md if it does not exist (#108)
During a previous refactoring (#15) the Changelog generation logic stopped creating the file if it did not exist. This makes sure that the file actually gets created. This is primarily required while onboarding new repositories.

Closes #85

releaser-pleaser

releaser-pleaser is a tool designed to automate versioning and changelog management for your projects. Building on the concepts of release-please, it streamlines the release process through GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.

Badge: Documentation Badge: Stable Release Badge: License GPL-3.0

Features

  • Automated Pull Requests: Opens a PR when releasable changes are detected.
  • Smart Versioning: Suggests new versions based on conventional commits and semantic versioning.
  • Version Reference Updates: Automatically updates committed version references in the PR.
  • Changelog Generation: Creates new changelog entries based on commits.
  • Automated Releases: Upon PR merge, creates tags and GitHub/GitLab Releases with appropriate messages.
  • Version Overrides: Allows manual override of the suggested version.
  • Prerelease Support: Offers options to create alpha, beta, or release candidate versions.

releaser-pleaser simplifies release management, allowing maintainers to focus on development while ensuring consistent and well-documented releases.

Relation to release-please

After using release-please for 1.5 years, I've found it to be the best tool for low-effort releases currently available. While I appreciate many of its features, I identified several additional capabilities that would significantly enhance my workflow. Although it might be possible to incorporate these features into release-please, I decided to channel my efforts into creating a new tool that specifically addresses my needs.

Key differences in releaser-pleaser include:

  • Support for multiple forges (both GitHub and GitLab)
  • Better support for pre-releases

One notable limitation of release-please is its deep integration with the GitHub API, making the addition of support for other platforms (like GitLab) a substantial undertaking. releaser-pleaser aims to overcome this limitation by design, offering a more versatile solution for automated release management across different platforms and project requirements.
