Changelog Generator reads your git history between two tags or dates and produces well-organized release notes. It understands conventional commit messages, groups changes by type (features, fixes, breaking changes), and writes human-readable summaries that go beyond raw commit messages.
How It Works
- Range detection — Identifies the commit range from the last tag or specified date to HEAD, or between two specified versions
- Commit parsing — Reads commit messages and identifies conventional commit prefixes (feat:, fix:, chore:, BREAKING CHANGE:)
- Grouping — Organizes commits into Added, Changed, Fixed, Removed, and Breaking Changes sections
- Summarization — Rewrites terse commit messages into user-friendly descriptions that explain the impact of each change
- Formatting — Outputs in Keep a Changelog format with version number, date, and linked comparison URLs
