[Question] Is there a way to add additonal files to commit?

[svattenky]

I am generating some release notes with a different tool and would like have the CHANGELOG.md i am creating be part of the commit. Is there a way to add these additional files?

Take a look at the additionalFiles parameter, you may be able to update some code and open a PR to have it update other non JSON files.

@angelblade27 just trying to understand how this feature should work, would this be a brand new file created for each release or is it an existing file that has an ever growing list of changes?

We use beforeRelease to do some cleanup and add some generated file that should be present in the release.
The file is always regenerated.

I tried add: ['mygeneratedfile.txt'] but it doesn't work. Maybe add option can be simply improved so that if you use an array instead of true|falso it will do the add of the files listed.
