towncrier is a utility to produce useful, summarised news
files for your project. Rather than reading the VCS history to produce it,
or having one single file which developers all write to, towncrier reads
“news fragments” which contain information useful to end
users.
- --config
CONFIG_FILE
- Use the specified CONFIG_FILE to configure program behaviour.
(Default: towncrier.toml or, if that does not exist,
pyproject.toml)
- --dir
FRAGMENTS_DIR
- Manage news fragments in the directory FRAGMENTS_DIR, relative to
the project directory. (Default: newsfragments)
- -v
- --version
- Emit the program version.
- -h
- --help
- Describe how to use the program.

[build] [--name
PROJECT_NAME] [--version
RELEASE_VERSION] [--date
RELEASE_DATE] [--draft]
[--yes]
[--keep] |
- Discover all the news fragments in FRAGMENTS_DIR, and collate them.
Render them as a news document for project PROJECT_NAME released on
RELEASE_DATE as version RELEASE_VERSION. Then, append the
generated news document to the configured news file, use Git to stage the
resulting file, and finally prompt the user for whether to delete the news
fragment files. (Or, if --draft is specified: Emit the news file
text to the standard error stream, and do not change any files.) If
--yes is specified, omit the prompt and assume “yes”
to delete news fragment files.
If --keep is specified, omit the prompt and assume
“no” to delete news fragment files.
create |
[--content CONTENT]
[--edit|--no-edit] FRAGMENT_FILE |
- Create a news fragment with filename FRAGMENT_FILE. If
--content is specified, populate the news fragment file with text
content CONTENT. If --edit is specified, launch the default
text editor with the news fragment file.
check |
[--compare-with GIT_COMMIT] |
- Compare the current news file and fragments to those in the Git commit
GIT_COMMIT (default: origin/master); then, if the news file
is the same, report any additional fragments found.
