Changelogen has built-in functionality to sync with with Github releases.

In order to manually sync a release, you can use changelogen gh release. It will parse current CHANGELOG.md from current repository (local, then remote) and create or update releases.

Usage:

`sh
npx changelogen@latest gh release [all|versions...] [--dir] [--token]
`

To enable this integration, make sure there is a valid repository field in package.json or repo is set in .changelogenrc.

By default in unauthenticated mode, changelogen will open a browser link to make manual release. By providing github token, it can be automated.

- Using environment variables or .env, use CHANGELOGEN_TOKENS_GITHUB or GITHUB_TOKEN or GH_TOKEN
- Using CLI args, use --token
- Using global configuration, put tokens.github= inside ~/.changlogenrc
- Using GitHub CLI token when authenticated with gh auth login

Configuration

Configuration is loaded by unjs/c12 from cwd. You can use either changelog.config.json, changelog.config.{ts,js,mjs,cjs}, .changelogrc or use the changelog field in package.json.

See ./src/config.ts for available options and defaults.
