Directus Version Control Changelog
A Directus hook extension to push user written change summaries (from a singleton collection text field) to a changelog in a VCS server
Overview
The Directus Hook Extension is a package that extends the functionality of the Directus CMS by allowing users to add entries to a changelog in a version control system. It currently supports Bitbucket Server, but has the potential to be expanded to other version control systems like GitHub or GitLab in the future. This extension is particularly useful for those using GatsbyJS with Directus as a content source and a build system like OpenDevStack with ods-pipeline, as it enables tracking of code and content changes and integrates with existing webhook functionality.
Features
- Allows users to add changelog entries to a version control system
