Grunt module to publish release notes based on commits between two tags. This module is using github-release-notes.
This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5
and github-release-notes ^0.5.0
npm install grunt-github-release-notes --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-github-release-notes');
Before you can use it, you need to set up a couple of things.
gren by default looks for your local git configuration to get the repo informations. This means you can run the command directly from the git repo folder.
Otherwise, you can run it from wherever and specify a different repo as target, with:
options: {
username: USERNAME,
repo: REPO_NAME
}
To work, gren needs a github token
(that can be easily generated following this link). You only need "repo" scope.
Once generated, you can run the gren command with the token as variable:
options: {
token: YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
}
Or you can add it to your ~/.bash_profile
or ~/.zshrc
) as follows:
export GREN_GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here
The options are the same as github-release-notes, in camelCase:
tags: 0.1.0|0.2.0,0.1.0
A specific tag or the range of tags to build the release notes from.timeWrap: latest|history
The release notes you want to include in the changelog. Default:latest
Only applicable to thechangelog
actionchangelogFilename: CHANGELOG.md
The name of the changelog file. Default:CHANGELOG.md
dataSource: issues|commits
The informations you want to use to build release notes. Default:issues
draft: true|false
To set the release as a draft. Default:false
prerelease: true|false

. Default:null
includeMessages: merges|commits|all

}
},
