release-notes

Generate release notes from git history by reading commit subjects via git log since the last tag, categorizing them into Added, Fixed, Changed, and Chore buckets, and outputting a Markdown document ready for GitHub Releases.

Creating a changelog from commit messages involves parsing git history since the last release tag, grouping commit subjects into logical change categories like Added and Fixed, and producing a human-readable Markdown summary for stakeholders.

Generating release notes from git history requires only read-only access to the repository via git log, git describe, and git tag commands to extract commit subjects and determine the last release tag safely.

Categorizing git commit subjects into Added and Fixed buckets is supported by grouping parsed commit subjects from git history into structured Markdown sections suitable for reviewer and stakeholder distribution.

Grouping git log commits into a Markdown document requires running git log to fetch commit subjects since the last tag, sorting them into change buckets, and formatting the output as a structured Markdown file for GitHub Releases.

Using git history for release notes depends entirely on commit subject quality, meaning poorly structured or vague commit messages will result in less meaningful categorized Markdown summaries compared to an explicitly maintained changelog.
