automatically install @changesets/changelog-github upon `changeset init` if GitHub integration is selected

Author: KTrain5169Created Sep 17, 2026Updated Sep 17, 2026

When I choose to use the GitHub integration mentioned in changeset init, I expect it to install @changesets/changelog-github for me, but it doesn't, so often in CI it just crashes with this error:

Error: Cannot find package '@changesets/changelog-github' imported from /home/runner/work/vite-plugin-node-env/vite-plugin-node-env/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@changesets/cli/dist/x.mjs

I think it's reasonable to automatically install this package or at least prompt the user before automatically installing it
