Add option for filtering commits by category
Opened this issue · 5 comments
Its amazing!!
It would be awesome if I could filter and exclude them by category
Would you accept a PR?
Hey @gamichalski,
Just to clarify, do you mean to have a flag similar to --exclude but instead of excluding types during generation, excluding categories as well?
Yes that's right.
Is it my need, is it good for everyone?
Gotcha. I'm not sure if I understand the use-case just yet. Can you give an example of your workflow that requires the filtering of a category? Is it possible to just group those under chore and then exclude that type?
Yes, I would like to make a separation from what is related to a product, and what is technology related
I'm using lerna for my monorepos which is another use case for this feature (built-in changelog generation of lerna sucks for non-feat/fix commits).
The package name is being used as the category (e.g feat(kitsu-core): message). Exclusion by category would allow ignoring commits for package A in package B's changelog.
