How can I ignore the commit that has been reverted?

[andykao1213]

Let's say I have a feature commit:

feat: new feature

For some reason, we decided not to use this feature. So I revert it using get revert, which creates the following commit:

Revert "feat: new feature"

This commit revert...

Then I trigger standard-version, and the feature commits still exist. Is there any way I can ignore the commit?

Lastly, thanks for your hard work on this project. standard-version helps me greatly in my daily work.

Hey @andykao1213 – from the standard-version (conventional-changelog) perspective if the commit is in the history (and matches the commit preset you are using) it will still be written to the CHANGELOG.

That said, if you are using the --preset=conventionalcommits (the default in current versions) and use revert: you should see the output in your changelog:

Hi @jbottigliero! I get different results with yarn standard-version -s --preset=conventionalcommits and yarn standard-version -s as only the prior generates reverts into the changelog.

What will happen if you have such a history, that the revert is in the same version?

revert: Revert "feat: My New Feature"
fix: handle some error
feat: My New Feature

When generating CHANGELOG, I suppose these two should be completely ignored:

revert: Revert "feat: My New Feature"
feat: My New Feature
