Generate release notes from conventional commits by parsing prefixes to categorize features, fixes, and refactors, then compiling them into a structured Markdown changelog. This process summarizes chaotic commit histories into a readable narrative for stakeholders.

Turning git commit histories into a Markdown changelog involves identifying breaking changes and dependency updates from commit messages and PR descriptions. This categorization creates a cohesive, publish-ready release notes document without manual sorting.

PR descriptions can be used to create structured release notes by integrating them with commit summaries. This combines the high-level context from pull requests with detailed conventional commit histories to produce a comprehensive changelog.

Conventional commit parsing identifies breaking changes by analyzing commit prefixes and metadata. It flags these changes specifically so they can be highlighted in the generated Markdown release notes, ensuring stakeholders are aware of critical updates.

Automating changelog generation requires a structured commit message format like conventional commits. Parsing these prefixes allows the system to accurately categorize features, fixes, and refactors into a well-structured Markdown document.

Compile dependency updates and known issues into release notes by parsing commit histories and PR summaries. The process extracts these specific details and lists them in a dedicated section within the generated Markdown changelog.
