Add config option to disable Changelog

[KennethEnevoldsen]

Description

I would like to be able to not have a CHANGELOG.md file. This could e.g. be done by setting the Changelog to "" or creating a custom flag.

Use cases

Some repositories only want the version management of semver without the auto updated changelog.

Possible implementation

This could e.g. be done by setting the Changelog to "" or creating a custom flag. I believe it is already possible using:

[tool.semantic_release.changelog]
# no changelog:
changelog_file = "/dev/null"

which is OS specific.

Currently you can just provide the --no-changelog option on the command line for this. We do not have it as a configuration entry at this time.

But can I also use that option within the GitHub actions?

Did you try:

- name: Python Semantic Release
  uses: python-semantic-release/python-semantic-release@v9.3.1
  with:
    changelog: "false"
