Description

Hi, I am using nx workspace to handle multiple angular projects as well as shared libraries. Let' s assume a folder structure like this:

|_package.json
|_CHANGELOG.md
|_projectA
  |_package.json
  |__CHANGELOG.md
|_projectB
  |_package.json
  |_CHANGELOG.md

I am trying to figure out a way to use conventional-changelog in my release process. I want to have seperated changelogs for each project and one root changelog. By using conventional commits I would like to somehow define the scope of the commit (e.g. that this feat() only affects projectA and thus, is only mentioned in this specific changelog.

Is this possible or is this a wrong approach in a monorepo?

Help appreciated.

Research direction
Examine the issue comments for potential workarounds and solutions. Explore standard version's tag prefix and skip flags to generate per project changelogs. Consider using Nx's built in changelog generation or a custom script. The repository's documentation may also provide guidance on monorepo setups.
