Generating Changelogs and Release Notes
Learn how to produce clear changelogs and automated release notes from your Git history and conventional commits.
What is a Changelog?
A changelog is a curated, human-readable list of notable changes for each version. It lives in a file like CHANGELOG.md at the repo root.
Why Changelogs Matter
Users and teammates read changelogs to understand:
- New features
- Bug fixes
