This document explains how to publish all OT modules at version x.y.z. Ensure that you’re following semver when choosing a version number.

Use the Changelog to create a GitHub Release

Generate the changelog with lerna

Since we use lerna, we can use lerna-changelog

How to use

Pass your github token to generate the changelog automatically. For security reasons, when you create a Github token, select the permissions: under repo, select Access public repositories, commit status.

In your terminal, execute the following command:

GITHUB_AUTH=<your token> lerna-changelog

It will print something like:

## Unreleased (2018-05-24)

#### :bug: Bug Fix
* [#198](https://github.com/my-org/my-repo/pull/198) Avoid an infinite loop ([@helpful-hacker](https://github.com/helpful-hacker))

#### :house: Internal
* [#183](https://github.com/my-org/my-repo/pull/183) Standardize error messages ([@careful-coder](https://github.com/careful-coder))

#### Commiters: 2
- Helpful Hacker ([@helpful-hacker](https://github.com/helpful-hacker))

By default lerna-changelog will show all pull requests that have been merged since the latest tagged commit in the repository. That is however only true for pull requests with certain labels applied (see lerna.json for authorized labels).

You can also use the --from and --to options to view a different range of pull requests:

GITHUB_AUTH=xxxxx lerna-changelog --from=v1.0.0 --to=v2.0.0

Update Changelog file

From what lerna-changelog has generated, starts new Unreleased label. Follow the example set by recent Released label.
