# @qualcomm-ui/changesets-cli

Changeset automation CLI for conventional commits.

This package streamlines the release process for monorepos by converting [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) into [changesets](https://github.com/changesets/changesets), managing versioning, formatting changelogs, and generating combined release notes.

## Installation

```sh
pnpm add -D @qualcomm-ui/changesets-cli
```

## Commands

### `prep-release`

Runs the full release-prep pipeline sequentially:

1. Generate changesets from conventional commits
2. Bump versions and generate changelogs
3. Consolidate changelog formatting
4. Generate combined release notes and write to a temporary file

```sh
qui-changesets prep-release [options]
```
