Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Generates a CHANGELOG, creates the GitHub release, and bumps versions in language specific files e.g. package.json, Cargo.toml, setup.py, etc. Supports a range of languages. Parses conventional commits so understands version bumps for breaking changes. Manages Git tags.

Tradeoffs

Requires conventional commit formats and does not handle publishing releases to package managers.
