About:
Changelogen is a command-line tool that automates the generation of changelogs from Git history and Conventional Commits. It analyzes commit messages to categorize changes, generate release notes, and manage versioning. This streamlines the release process, ensuring documentation is consistent and up-to-date with minimal manual effort.
Key Features:
  • Automatically parses Conventional Commits for categorization
  • Generates formatted Markdown changelogs
  • Supports bumping version numbers based on commit types
  • Configurable rules for commit labels and sections
Use Cases:
  • Automating release notes generation in CI/CD pipelines
  • Standardizing changelog formats across open-source projects
  • Quickly summarizing changes for stakeholders or clients
Alternatives:
  • standard-version – Standard-version is a mature tool that handles versioning and changelogs, whereas Changelogen offers a lighter, faster alternative with modern TypeScript support.
  • semantic-release – Semantic-release is a fully automated, plugin-based solution for CI environments, while Changelogen provides a simpler, standalone CLI utility.
