Release Notes From Git Log

Converts a raw git log into grouped, user-facing release notes with a headline and migration note.

Dev & CodingBeginner★ 1,388⑂ 246AI score 9/10Last updated: Sep 22, 2026

What it does

  • Takes a git log or commit list and produces a release headline plus a changelog grouped into Features, Fixes, and Changes.
  • Rewrites each entry in terms of what the reader gains, not what the code did.
  • Cuts chores, refactors, and merge commits unless behaviour actually changed.
  • Adds a one-line migration note whenever users must take action (e.g. a renamed public function).
  • Ships a quality checklist and anti-pattern list (no pasted commit messages, no ticket numbers or branch names).

Who it's for

  • Developers and tech leads who hand-write CHANGELOG entries every release
  • PMs and technical writers translating engineering commits into customer announcements
  • Open-source maintainers who frequently ship breaking changes

Examples

  1. Paste git log v1.3.0..HEAD --oneline and ask for v1.4.0 notes → headline, three feature lines, six fix lines, chores dropped.
  2. A commit renaming a public API → the rename appears under Changes with old and new names plus a single migration step.
  3. A single hotfix commit → a short note headlined "hotfix" with one fix line.
