Bumpy – versioning/changelog tool, fixed 120 open changesets issues

Meet bumpy - your new favourite open-source versioning, release, and changelog tool. Especially useful in monorepos with many related packages, but also great to use in simpler setups. This is a modern successor to the popular changesets tool, used by many open source projects. While changesets is great, and I love the file-based bump+changelog workflow, the project has hundreds of open issues, many of which have been open for multiple years. Bumpy fixes most of the important ones (over 120+ by my last count), and adds some new features as well. It also greatly simplifies things, so it…

What it does

🐸 Modern monorepo friendly version management + changelog tool - dmno-dev/bumpy

A modern package versioning, release, and changelog generation tool. Built for monorepos, but works great in simple projects too. Bumpy uses bump files (you may know them as "changesets" if coming from that tool 🦋 ) - small markdown files that declare an intent to release packages with a bump level (patch/minor/major), and a description that ends up in changelogs. Developers create these files as part of their PRs, and these files are then used to consolidate changes, generate changelogs, and trigger publishing. All of this is automated via two simple GitHub Actions workflows (see actions guide ). Or can be triggeredfrom github.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
