multiple fixes commited only first one in changelog.md

Current behavior

Hi friends, I am relatively new to this plugin and github in general, but I was able to configure my project to use semantic-versioning and automatically release new versions and update the changelog.

I use vsCode

and when I commit I leave a message for example like so:

fix: multiline \n
fix: comments \n
fix: in changelog

however, I will only see the first line in the changelog... is there a way to see all of the fixes? I must be missing something rather obvious....

Please help!

Expected behavior

that I'd have all fix:'s shown in my changelog

@travi thank you for that, but I am not sure I follow how this affects my situation - I would be ever so grateful if you could clarify what can I do to fix my issue. I am very new to github and not sure if I follow every nuance of that article...

i'm sorry, i misread your initial message and misunderstood that you had multiple messages in a single commit rather than multiple commits. expecting the messages to be retained after squashing multiple commits into one when merging is a common misconception, so we have the faq that i linked to for that situation.

however, your situation is essentially the same, but you've squashed the multiple changes into a single commit manually yourself. instead, make atomic commits so that each commit contains only one change.
