Link PR and author by commits

[medikoo]

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd love to automate generation of Changelog that's presented on serverless project, which:

• By each commit links PR with which it was introduced
• By each commit presents author name and links it to author's GitHub profile
• Allow to group changes by scope

Is that possible with git-cliff?

Is that possible with git-cliff?

Not really. git-cliff only uses git history and it is unaware of which hosting platform (GitHub, GitLab etc.) you are using. It is designed this way.

• By each commit links PR with which it was introduced

• By each commit presents author name and links it to author's GitHub profile

These are not possible due to the reason I mentioned earlier. However, the committer and author information can be added to the context in the future.

• Allow to group changes by scope

This can be done by using the scope field in the template. See the scoped example.

Also, I suggest checking out the similar projects, there you might find a tool to meet your requirements.

Thanks @orhun for clarifications.

You can now achieve this with the GitHub integration.
