Depending on in which repository the CLI is run, it will either suggest a module from [primer/react](https://github.com/primer/react) or [primer/view_components](https://github.com/primer/view_components). As a result the generated changeset will include a footer. An example changeset file might look like this: ```md --- "@primer/react": patch --- SSR-compatibibility fixes. Changed components: MarkdownEditor, ActionList ``` ## Setup for `primer/*` repository Install `primer-changesets-cli` as a dev dependency in your project. Remove `@changesets/cli` if it is already installed. ``` npm uninstall @changesets/cli npm install primer-changesets-cli --save-dev ``` ## Usage The usage remains the same as with `@changesets/cli`, the binary name is the same: ``` npx changeset ``` ## Updating the patch For the initial setup, run ``` npm install npm run apply-patch ``` Then 1. Make your changes directly in `node_modules/@changesets/cli/dist/cli.cjs.dev.js` 2. Run `npm run update-patch` In order to test the change locally, replace the version of `primer-changesets-cli` in the `primer/*` folder's `package.json` file with a local path ```diff - "primer-changesets-cli": "2.0.0", + "primer-changesets-cli": "file:../../gr2m/primer-changesets-cli", ``` Then run `npx changeset` as usual. Important: if you updated `@changesets/cli` to a new version, remove the old patch file and update the dependencies in `package.json`. Replace `"dependencies"` with all of `@changesets/cli`'s dependencies plus `"patch-package": "^7.0.0"`. ## How it works Unfortunately the the `@changeset/cli` package is not decomposable, we cannot easily import selected modules from it, inject our additional question, and then compose it together again before running it. So instead we use [`patch-package`](https://github.com/ds300/patch-package) to patch the `@changeset/cli` package directly in a maintainable way. The changed lines can be seen in the [`patch/` folder](patch/). They get applied using the `postinstall` script in this package when installing locally. In order for it to work when running the command with `npx primer-changesets-cli` later, we copy the patched file from `node_modules/@changesets/cli/dist/cli.cjs.dev.js` into the local `bin.js` directly, using the `prepublishOnly` script. ## License [MIT](LICENSE) --- _Source: https://npm.io/package/primer-changesets-cli · Machine-readable twin of the npm.io package page.
