The resulting changelog can be easily integrated into release notes or other documentation.
When to use it
- After completing a series of software development commits that need summarizing for a release.
- To automatically maintain a project's changelog alongside ongoing development.
- When needing to quickly generate a summary of changes made in a repository for stakeholders.
- For creating versioned documentation from commit history.
