node-changes - (Node release)

Get the release changelog right from your terminal!

Whenever Node releases a new version of the runtime I want to read the changelog, and then I thought: "Why not make changelogs super-nerdy so that I can read the changelog right from my terminal?". And then it happened. I decided to read the GitHub v3 RESTful API and created a CLI tool that lets you read the changelog for your local Node version or for a specific Node version.

Install

npm i -g node-changes

Usage

Usage: node-changes [options]

Options:
  -t, --tag [ver]  Get changelog for the particular release

$ node-changes -t 18.12.0

Or just run

$ node-changes

to get the changelog for the version on your machine.

Examples

• Without specifying the tag version.

• With specifying the tag version.

Interaction

You can click on the commit hash (Ctrl + click or Super + click) and it will launch a browser instance with a direct link to the commit hash.
