How can I automate my changelog with GitHub Actions?

You can automate your changelog by creating a GitHub Action that runs on specific events like pushes or pull requests.

What tools or libraries should I use for generating the changelog?

You can use tools like 'conventional-changelog' or 'auto-changelog' to generate changelogs based on commit messages.

Can you show me an example of a GitHub Actions workflow for this?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

name: Generate Changelog
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  changelog:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Generate Changelog
        run: npx conventional-changelog -o CHANGELOG.md

How do I trigger this workflow?

This workflow triggers automatically on every push to the main branch. You can customize it to trigger on other events as needed.
