How do you save your ChangeLogs?

[Map Designer]

Hello,

my changelogs are starting to get massive and hard to track. I currently use text files. How do you keep track of changes in your maps? do you save the changes in a comment trigger? do you save it in .txt file? do you save it somewhere else? pastebin maybe? where and how? can you show me a illustrative example of how you format your changelogs?

thanks!

I use trello to organize myself. And there is Changelog for every release I do.

Would you mind showing some of your typical and organized changelog, or an illustrative example of how you organize changelog?

Sure.

I use GitHub and also store maps there.

Problem is that map files actually have big size, and you can't commit it by parts.

So it don't make much sense to me since you can't track commit changes.

I personally use Trigger Comments, though I think I need to switch to something else. Maybe Jass script with WEX?

Text file generally is easiest way. Append new changes to the top so you never really need to scroll past an ever expanding log of changes.

this has been ok with me for a while. I think I should have separated To-do-list from changelog and Im good to go (it always miss things up because I write some things to do but never do them eventually.

I have a personal svn server that works great for backing things up. I just use repository commit messages to keep track of changes.
