 ## New features
 - Addition of the [create_base_models](macros/create_base_models.sql)
 This macro generates a series of terminal commands (appended w) bash script which creates a new file in your dbt project based off the results of the [generate_base_model](macros/generate_base_model.sql) macro. Therefore, instead of outputting in the terminal, it will create the file for you.
+- Add `include_data_types` flag to `generate_source` macro ([#76](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-codegen/pull/76))
 
 ## Quality of life
 - Addition of the [base_model_creation](bash_scripts/base_model_creation.sh) bash script which allows users to input multiple tables as a list and generate a terminal command that will combine **all** [create_base_models](macros/create_base_models.sql) commands. This way, you can generate base models for all your sources at once.
 - Instructions for contributing ([#99](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-codegen/issues/99), [#104](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-codegen/pull/104))
