   Sorry I don't quite understand. You're just hoping for changelog generated for the prerelease?

   Yes. Otherwise everything builds up and then is only promoted at patch.

   $ bunx bumpy status
   67 bump file(s) pending
   
   Minor
     foo: 0.2.0-alpha.155 → 0.2.0 (packages/foo)
   Patch
     create-foo-app: 0.1.7 → 0.1.8 (packages/create-foo-app)
   

   I'd rather get a changelog on all alpha releases - and then a coordinated changelog of all alpha releases at patch/minor update. Look at how nextjs handles their alpha releases. It can be hundreds of commits in alpha before its promoted to patch/minor.

   would it be ok to keep the pre-release changelog in a different file, for example CHANGELOG-alpha.md - which gets deleted when it eventually gets fully released?

   Also - are you seeing the per-release changes in each github release for pre-releases? (You should)

   Yeah I suppose that would be fine, as long as all the changes would then get wrapped up together into the main changelog?

   re: second question, I haven't gotten that far yet.
