composer-changelogs composer-changelogs is a plugin for Composer. It displays some texts after each Composer update to nicely summarize the modified packages with links to release and compare urls. Just copy it in your commit body and you get a nice description. Installation You can install it either globally: composer global require " pyrech/composer-changelogs " or locally: composer require --dev " pyrech/composer-changelogs " Usage That's it! Composer will enable automatically the plugin as soon it's installed. Just run your Composer updates as usual :) If you no longer want to display summary, you can either: run your Composer command with the option --no-plugins uninstall the package Further documentation Here is some documentation about the project: Configuration, like gitlab hosts setup Experimental autocommit feature You can see the current and past versions using one of the following: the git tag command the releases page on Github the file listing the changes between versions And finally some meta documentation: versioning and branching models contribution instructions Credits Loick Piera All contributors Kudos to Damien Alexandre for the idea.
