calens

calens is a changelog generator that nicely prints a changelog file from a directory with versioned subdirs containing files. A sample directory can be seen in the restic repository

Installation

To install and run calens locally, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/restic/calens.git 
cd calens
CGO_ENABLED=0 go install

Creating a Changelog

To create a changlog.md file using calens, change into a repository containing a changelog folder similar to that of restic. Then run calens -o changlog.md from within the repository.

When done, open the created changelog to see the generated changelog.

Run calens --help for more options.
