[FR] Add --include parameter as a counterpart to --ignore #1672
Description
Description
I would like to request the addition of an --include parameter to the changeset version command. This parameter would serve as a counterpart to the existing --ignore parameter.
Current Problem
The --ignore parameter requires specifying all packages except the one you want to release. This can be cumbersome, especially when you only want to release a single package.
Usage Example
changeset version --include <package-name>
This command would only version the specified package(s).

Are there any updates here? Would also love an --include config option as we only plan to version 1-2 packages

It sounds like a reasonable request given we auto-derive managed packages from the workspaces configuration and there is no real way to override this.
PRs are welcome 😉

I can work on this. Should
--includeuse the current--ignoresemantics for every package outside the list? That would keep the existing guard against changesets that mix included and excluded packages, and leave dependency, fixed, and linked-group validation unchanged. Supporting partial application of one mixed changeset would need different handling so its remaining release entries stay pending.beeequeue commentedon Aug 13, 2026
A proper implementation would most likely also include a config file option as well as cli flag, to match the
ignorecapabilities.The handling of
ignorein the project right now is imo quite as subpar, with it being quite easy to miss integrating it in every place it should be (as can be seen with the bug with pre-releases).Andarist commentedon Aug 13, 2026
Generally yes. If there are already scheduled releases for some packages, releasing only a subset from those... is dangerous. We shouldn't allow doing that by default.

Any update on this?
