How to add new types to changelog

Hi - i have been using conventional-changelog for about a 6 months and it’s great. I am alittle confused about the documentation and how to add new types.

I would like to add a new type which goes into my changelog, like feat and fix. If possible i would like to use design and animation if a commit has change the design or animation of the project and have that printed into the changelog?

I am using conventional-changelog with gulp and would assume i need to put a config object into the _conventional-changelog-writer_ but i have no idea on what to put in.

   gulp.task('changelog', function () {
       return gulp.src('CHANGELOG.md', {
           buffer: false
       })
           .pipe(conventionalChangelog(
                 {
                       preset:'angular',
                    releaseCount:0
              }, {
                    // context goes here
              }, {
                    // git-raw-commits options go here
              }, {
                    // conventional-commits-parser options go here
              }, {
                    // conventional-changelog-writer options go here
              }

        ))
           .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
   });

Any help would be much appriciated or an example. Thanks Dennis

Is there more information about how to create own “presets” with types? Somehow, I turn in circles if I follow links in this thread or try to understand how config works (can’t find an example).

@renestalder You can use ddennis’ forked project as an example: https://github.com/ddennis/conventional-changelog-ddennis (he has added two new types). Hope this helps 👍
