request: Add option to group commits by type in changelog for version command

[MobiliteDev]

Is there an existing feature request for this?

• I have searched the existing issues.

Command

melos version --[no-]group-commits

Description

I would like to propose an enhancement to the version command in Melos that improves the changelog generation by grouping commits by their type (e.g., fix, feat). The idea is to have a single header for each type, under which all related commits are grouped. This would improve the readability of the changelog by reducing clutter and providing a more organized summary of changes.

For example :

### Fixes
- corrected issue with API call (#123)
- resolved UI glitch on iOS (#124)

### Features
- added user authentication (#125)
- implemented dark mode support (#126)

Reasoning

This feature would make changelogs more user-friendly, especially for projects with a lot of commits, by presenting changes in a more structured and less redundant way.

Hello!

Thank you for your response. I'm definitely interested in contributing to the development of this feature. However, I want to be upfront that I haven't contributed to open-source projects before, so I'm not entirely familiar with all the processes and best practices involved. That said, I'm eager to learn and follow any guidelines necessary to ensure my contribution meets the project's standards.

If you have any pointers or specific steps to follow, I'd greatly appreciate your guidance.
