Changelog

Since we follow Conventional Commits when writing commit messages, we’re able to automatically create formal “releases” of the template based on the commit messages. Releases in the context of the template are when changes occur to the template/ files or to the copier.yaml files. The releases are also published to Zenodo for easier discovery, archival, and citation purposes. We use Cocogitto to be able to automatically create these releases, which uses SemVar as the version numbering scheme, and Git Cliff to generate the changelog based on the commit messages.

Because releases are created based on commit messages, a new release is created quite often—sometimes several times in a day. This also means that any individual release will not have many changes within it. Below is a list of the releases we’ve made so far, along with what was changed within each release.

Commits from bots, like dependabot or pre-commit-ci, are not included in the changelog.
