Multiple git commits per release?

[rconnamacher]

Auto's currently making two commits to git for every one release; one to edit the changelog, and one to set the git tag. Is there a way to combine them into one commit?

(I'm using the npm and conventional-commits plugins.)

commit  <hash> (tag: v0.2.1)
Author: <email>
Date:   <date>

    Bump version to: 0.2.1 [skip ci]

commit  <hash>
Author: <email>
Date:   <date>

    Update CHANGELOG.md [skip ci]

We could probably have a small plugin that does a squash using the afterVersion hook. If you want that functionality it would be be too hard and would be a great first pr to the repo 😄 I might have time to do this for awhile but would happily answer any implementation questions

Hi,

I could try to implement this plugin.

Just a confirmation before, if I squash all commits on afterVersion hook, all tags put on the original commits will be lost.
So the plugin must fetch and recreate all tags into the newly created commit, right ?

[hipstersmoothie]

Yeah I could see how that might get tricky! It would have to do something along those lines

Here an implementation of this : #2180

I created a this PR solving this problem with a alternative solution.

I already do the separate processes in a script, and I made a proposal that makes a small change, but it will allow me to generate a single commit with all the changes. I give all the details there in PR.
