# Create a Beachball Change File Generate a change file for the current branch's modifications using the repo's beachball setup. ## Steps 1. **Determine the change type:** - `patch` — bug fixes, internal refactors, test-only changes - `minor` — new features, new exports, new component variants - `none` — changes that don't affect the published package (stories, docs, tests only) - Never use `major` without explicit user approval 2. **Generate a descriptive message** following the format: `fix(package-name): description` or `feat(package-name): description` 3. **Run the repo's change script** to create the change file: ```bash yarn change ``` This runs `beachball change --no-commit` (configured in root `package.json`). Beachball automatically detects which packages need change files. For non-interactive usage with a specific type and message: ```bash yarn beachball change --no-commit --type <type> --message "<message>" ``` 4. **Verify** the change file was created: ```bash yarn check:change ``` ## Rules - Always use `yarn change` or `yarn beachball change` — never manually create change files - The message should describe the user-facing impact, not the implementation detail
