chore: improve changelog by using git-cliff (#768)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
## 🔧 Problem

We can't customize the changelog generated by
[release-please](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please), so it's
impossible to filter technical and non technical changes.

Moreover only `fix` and `feat` commits are parts of the changelog,
sometimes it would make sense to add `chore`, `refactor` and `doc`
changes to the changelog.

## 🍰 Solution

Use [`git-cliff`](https://git-cliff.org/) to generate the changelog and
create the tags too. The process is the same than with `release-please`,
it will create an automated PR that, when merged, will tag the
appropriate version and create a release.


## 🚨  Points to watch/comments

Commits that are only relative to `data/` are excluded from the
changelog.

We will be able to fully test this PR only once it will be merged into
master and once a release will be created. I did all the tests that I
could without merging, see below.

## 🏝️ How to test

The generated PR will look like this one:
#797
> [!IMPORTANT]
> This automated PR was updated using the commits of this PR, so once
this is merged into `master`, the changelog will only contain the
squashed commits of the `master` branch.

The different workflows were tested extensively here:
https://github.com/vjousse/git-cliff-release-creation-exemple

I did a test on this PR by enabling release creation on commit push here
(instead of merging the changelog PR). The tag and the release
(configured as draft in my test) was created as expected, see the
screenshots below.

I have removed the tag and the draft PR since.
