JarCastingGradle Changelog Plugin
A Gradle plugin which writes a markdown formatted changelog file based on conventional changelog syntax git commits.
Conventional Changelog
Conventional Changelog is a commit convention defined and used by AngularJS. It aims at producing more usefull changelogs trimming unimportant commits out of the changelog. For this purpose a set of simple and easy to use conventions are used. The full commit convention can be read here
Basic Usage
Add the plugin to your buildscript's dependencies section:
classpath 'com.github.marcpoppleton:git-changelog:0.1.3'
Apply the changelog plugin:
apply plugin: 'changelog'
Commit using the conventional changelog convention and call the changelog Gradle task!
