How can I configure conventionalcommits properties without having the preset installed into my own projects package.json?

[jeacott1]

Hi,
as I understand it, if I want to customise IssuePrefixes etc I need to create a new file and reference it with config-file-path:
eg:

'use strict'
const config = require('conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits');

module.exports = config({
    "issuePrefixes": [""XXXX-"],
    "issueUrlFormat": "https://myproject.atlassian.net/browse/{{prefix}}{{id}}"
})

this disables the 'preset:' option and the conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits is no longer pulled automatically.

if I run npm install it eg:

run: npm install conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits

This fixes the missing dependency issue, but it also includes and commits the dependency in MY project. this is totally undesirable.

How can I set the issuePrefixes and issueUrlFormat without having this injected into my own package.json?

"conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits": "^5.0.0" 

when I just use the 'preset: conventionalcommits' option this problem doesnt occur.

thanks

Why not just add the dependency to your project?

There are other languages, for example, GoLang.

This is actually solved with #247, please update to the latest version. We now default include conventionalcommits preset.
