changelog

name	changelog
description	Creates user-facing changelogs from git commits by analyzing commit history, categorizing changes, and transforming technical commits into clear, customer-friendly release notes.

Changelog and versioning

Turn technical git commits into polished, user-facing changelog entries. This monorepo uses Changesets for versioning and builds the changelog from changeset entries.

When to use

• Preparing release notes for a new version
• Documenting changes for the website or docs pages
• Keeping a consistent writing style across release notes

How it works

1. Scan git history for the relevant range.
2. Categorize commits (features, improvements, bug fixes, breaking changes) and filter noise (refactor, test, chore).
3. Translate developer commits into customer-facing language.
4. Format entries per the repo conventions.
