feature: Generate the changelog with a dictated version instead of bumping

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Because many tools offer "bumping" logic and this is being integrated in a larger pipeline with many other things happening, it would be nice to be able to leverage this tool without it bumping the version at all.

Describe the solution you'd like

If we already know the target version and simply need to generate a changelog from git commits, it would be useful to short-circuit the entire bump system and simply pass in the version as a cli parameter.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No alternatives are feasible in the situation we're encountering because we've already bumped the version in a different aspect of our complex pipeline.

Yep, you can do that with --bump 1.2.3. Let me know if that works!

Brilliant! I didn't realize you could do that!
