changelog-generator

Generate changelogs from conventional commits by parsing commit types, scopes, and breaking changes to automatically categorize release notes into sections like Features and Bug Fixes. This automation parses Git history to output structured markdown, JSON, or plain text formats.

Creating release notes for a multi-repository project is handled by parsing conventional commits across multiple repository structures to generate a unified changelog. This approach aggregates Git commit histories into a single, categorized release document with semantic version suggestions.

Customizing the categorization of bug fixes and features in a markdown changelog is supported through custom categorization rules. You define how conventional commit types are grouped, allowing the changelog generator to output tailored release notes sections.

Conventional commits map to semantic version suggestions by analyzing commit types and breaking changes to calculate the next version bump. The changelog generator identifies breaking changes for major versions and features or fixes for minor and patch increments.

The changelog generator works without external dependencies, utilizing internal scripts and references to parse Git commit history. It processes conventional commits natively to produce categorized changelogs in markdown, JSON, or plain text formats.
