## What it is
Changelogen is a TypeScript CLI tool that generates beautiful Markdown changelogs from Conventional Commits in a git repository. It can also bump package versions, create git commits and tags, and publish packages to npm.

## Use cases
- generate a changelog from conventional commits
- bump package. version and update CHANGELOG.md
- create a release commit and git tag automatically
- publish a package to npm with a version suffix
- generate canary releases with date and commit hash suffixes
- list contributors in release notes

## When to choose
- you follow conventional commits and want automated changelog generation
- you want a lightweight all-in-one version bump, tag, and publish CLI
- you need canary or prerelease versioning with suffixes

## When to avoid
- you don't use conventional commits or git tags
- you need fully customizable changelog templates beyond what changelogen offers
- you use a language ecosystem without package.
