header option in .versionrc is ignored

[matatk]

I'm using a .versionrc file to specify options, and this is taken into consideration by standard-version (I checked this by setting the "feat" commit type to hidden and it worked).

However, the "changelogHeader" or "header" options are ignored. I wasn't entirely clear whether the option should be specified as "changelogHeader" (as the standard-version README says you can put command-line options into the file) or "header" (as per the conventional-commits-config-spec 2.0.0). Either way, it doesn't seem to set the header in the generated CHANGELOG.md file.

Example .versionrc:

{
  "header": "This header is not used"
}

The CHANGELOG.md file begins...

# Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. See [standard-version](https://github.com/conventional-changelog/standard-version) for commit guidelines.

## 0.1.0 (2019-07-22)
. . .

I would've expected the first line to be

# This header is not used

I'm using standard-version 6.0.1.

Hey @matatk – while standard-version uses the conventional-changelog-config-spec@2.0.0, support for the new header property hasn't hit a release, yet.

#364 should implement the functionality you are looking for – if you want to give that branch try.

@jbottigliero thanks for your quick and helpful replies (on this issue and the other one I filed). I've just tried the "feat-header-support" branch from #364 and it does indeed work as expected :-).

This sort of works on the main release it's just under a different value:

"changelogHeader": "# Custom Header",

(Using version 7.0.0)
