Is there a way to specify a naming convention for a changelog ? For example

mvn liquibase:generateChangeLog -Dliquibase.outputChangeLogFile=src/main/resources/db/changelog/changelog\*\*${date}\*\*.postgresql.sql

I don’t find anything in the docs or on other sites. If there is some documentation can someone point me to it?

Hey @jchaplin ,  
I found this document about changelogs [here](https://docs.liquibase.com/concepts/basic/changelog.html) . This explains changelogs in various formats like SQL, XML, JSON, YAML and other formats.
