Description

Feature

Currently running yarn change --message "message" --type "patch" will create the same changefile for every single changed package. Include some kind of filter to create a changefile for one package

Motivation

The interactive CLI is not accessible for developers using the screen reader, those users would need a single CLI command they can run to use yarn change

Research direction

Start with the yarn change CLI entry point and the interactive package picker described in the issue. Define a non-interactive package filter that lets a user select one package, then verify that the command creates a changefile only for that package and remains usable with a screen reader.
