Automatically generate and release a changelog using Node.js

A changelog is an essential tool for tracking project changes over time, serving both as a bug-fixing reference and a resource for onboarding new developers. This tutorial offers a comprehensive guide to automating changelog generation and release processes using git hooks and Node.js, with a focus on structuring commit messages based on the Conventional Commits specification. Commitizen is introduced to facilitate the creation of conventional commits, while standard-version is used for automatically generating changelogs and release versions following semantic versioning. To ensure consistency across a development team, commitlint and Husky are employed to enforce commit message rules. By integrating these tools, developers can streamline their workflow, maintain project consistency, and enhance collaboration.
