Generate Beautiful Changelogs for Github!

As a developer, I built a simple tool that transforms GitHub commits into beautiful changelogs instantly. Let me show you why I love it.

What's This Tool?

It's a straightforward changelog generator that works with any GitHub repository. Just paste your repo URL and get perfectly formatted changelogs in seconds. You can choose between specific tags to compare, or simply leave it empty to get changes from the latest tag to the main branch.

Why Is it so good

Here's what makes it amazing:

  1. Smart commit sorting: Automatically organizes by conventional commit types (feat, fix, etc.)
  2. Detailed attribution: Shows commit author and links directly to commit hash
  3. Clean formatting: Generates well-structured markdown output
  4. Complete history: Captures full commit history in an organized way
  5. Flexible comparison: Compare any two tags or get latest changes to main

Cool Features

The tool comes packed with useful features:

  • Beautiful emoji support
  • Smart commit filtering
  • Professional formatting
  • Modern, sleek interface
  • No account needed
  • Completely free and open source
  • Tag-to-tag comparison
  • Latest changes view
  • Works completely client-side
