To generate a CHANGELOG.md from git history, this skill parses commit messages using conventional commits and formats them into categorized sections. It applies semantic versioning to maintain an Unreleased section alongside versioned entries with links to commits.
Categorizing git commits for release notes is done by parsing conventional commit messages and sorting them into Added, Changed, Fixed, Deprecated, Removed, and Security sections. This approach follows the Keep a Changelog standard to ensure structured documentation.
Yes, you can use semantic versioning to maintain an Unreleased section in your changelog. The generator automatically groups parsed commits under an Unreleased header until they are assigned a specific semantic version tag during a software release.
This changelog generator works for software projects of all sizes that require automated and consistent release notes. As long as the project uses git history with conventional commit messages, it can parse and format the entries effectively.
Generating release notes from commit history relies entirely on parsing conventional commit messages; if commits lack proper prefixes, they may not categorize correctly. Manual writing is bypassed, but inconsistent commit formatting limits the accuracy of the categorized CHANGELOG.md sections.
