Generate release notes from git history by rewriting target CHANGELOG.md sections using actual commits and PRs. This ensures release notes reflect real changes rather than manual drafts, preserving attribution and references.

Preserve issue and PR references in your changelog by extracting #issue, (#PR), Fixes #..., and Thanks @author tags directly from git history. The notes fold Unreleased entries into the targeted release section automatically.

Format release notes for open-source projects by enforcing a stable, user-facing structure with consistent sections. This approach validates formatting before shipping, ensuring reproducible documentation for each release.

Automated changelog generation supports internal releases by deriving notes from actual mainline git history. It maintains audit discipline and accurate attribution without requiring manual draft compilation.

Regenerate a changelog before a beta release when you need to refresh project notes from the latest mainline history. This ensures the release section accurately captures all recent changes and references before cutting the release.
