Small tool to automate creation of Crystal shards and apps releases.

Change updates CHANGELOG.md and shard.yml, commits it and tags it. It doesn't push it which allows you to give it the final eyeball.

Change can be installed as a development dependency:

development_dependencies:
  change:
    github: xendk/change

Alternatively you can compile the binary and put it in your path.

Creating a CHANGELOG.md can be done with change create.

While working on your project add changelog entries under the ### Unreleased header, following the format described in keep a changelog.

When ready for a new release simply run change 1.0.0 to create the 1.0.0 release. You can run the program with -n to see what it will do.

As a convenience, if the unrelased header is formatted as

## <version> - Unreleased

You do not need to supply a version to change, it'll use the version from the header and make the next unreleased version the following patch version.

The reasoning is that whether the next release will be a major, minor or patch release is most present when adding the changelog entries, and fixing the header at the same time is a way to record this.

1. Fork it (https://github.com/xendk/change/fork)
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create a new Pull Request
