Why a lock file?

A lot of tools (like yarn, npm, poetry ,etc) use lock files to ensures that installations remain identical and reproducible across systems. A lock file saves important metadata, so that is why changeloggh is using this approach. The changelog.lock file saves and structures changelog data in json format. It's highly recommended to commit the changelog.lock file into your repository.

Limitations

• Does not support other format besides semver major.minor.patch, ex.: 1.1.1.
• It needs a changelog.lock.

Alternatives

• changelog-cli
