@release-it/conventional-changelog - Option for no change log about conventional-changelog

Is that already possible? Also, can we ignore the changelog for a specific execution with a cli option (like --no-changelog)?

Yes, that would be a good option to have. There's already ignoreRecommendedBump.

This would be amazing!

Could somebody using this plugin please try to set "infile": false?

I just added a test for and seems to work as intended (40869a1).

It indeed works.

In my use case scenario, I want to skip the changelog for pre-releases. To achieve that, I would have to run a bash script that modifies the config file dynamically within my CI and then ignores this file in git so the working directory would be clean before triggering release-it, which seems to be hacky.

That's why a CLI flag would be handy!

I can help with coding if you will.

I figured out that the release-it's CLI-to-config behavior covers it:

npx release-it --plugins.'@release-it/conventional-changelog'.infile=''
