Changelog links are incorrect for selfhosted gitlab

[AdamWillden]

I know the code attempts to best guess at the host type (gitlab, github, etc) based on the repository settings in the package.json, the changlog is then formatted with links as appropriate to the host type. Our gitlab server host name is very 'corporate' and unfriendly and does not contain the name 'gitlab'.

I suspect that get-pkg-repo...index.js#L82 is returning an unknownHostedInfo object. I don't know for sure.

I've looked through the code but cannot determine how best to fix this... I was hoping for something simple.

What would be great is if the user could specify what host type to use, and when not provided use the current auto-detection mechanism.

Is this the same as conventional-changelog/get-pkg-repo#9?

[a-jackson]

Yes, I think it might be

@stevemao i asked @a-jackson to look into it whilst I'm on holiday. So what he says goes :-)

@AdamWillden : Does this PR (#174) answer your question ?

[AdamWillden]

@cdupetit yes that is it! #174 addresses this issue directly.

Given we're both using gitlab I'd have been fine with a --type gitlab style fix but I'm absolutely fine with the --context <context.json> fix you have proposed there which gives much finer control and may prove useful.

I'd love to have this working!!

FWIW: I Inspected the changes in conventional-changelog/get-pkg-repo#9 in the end myself and didn't see how it would fix our problem after all (I forgot to report that here however).

[AdamWillden]

I'd be fine for you to reference this issue in that commit (such that merging will close this issue)

@AdamWillden please see comments in #227

@AdamWillden we finally have this functionality, as of standard-version@6.x.x, you can now create a .versionrc with custom URL formats see for all the config settings that are available.
