Hello!

Also I don't understand use-cases of skip_tags option, can you explain? For ex. if it alpha, does it drop all commits from any matched prev. tag to obtained alpha tag, for what can I need this?)

For example:

# regex for skipping tags
skip_tags = "beta|alpha"

# regex for ignoring tags
ignore_tags = "rc"

Consider this release history:

v0 -> v1-alpha -> v1-beta -> v1-rc.0 -> v1

• Commits for beta and alpha releases won't appear in the changelog.
• Commits for rc will appear under the most recent tag (v1)

So ignore_tags will move all of the commits contributing to those tags into the next non-ignored tags. Thus it also affects commits that themselves are not tagged.

Whereas skip_tags completely drops the tagged commits from processing but doesn't affect any other commits.

Let me know if this works for your use case and if there is anything else that I can help you with! 🐻
