When to use

Generate a human-readable changelog from git commit history. Works with any git repository.

Setup

No dependencies required. Uses only git and bash.

How to

Basic changelog (last 30 days or since last tag)

bash scripts/changelog.sh --repo /path/to/repo

Since a specific date

bash scripts/changelog.sh --repo /path/to/repo --since "2026-01-01"

Date range

bash scripts/changelog.sh --repo /path/to/repo --since "2026-01-01" --until "2026-02-01"

JSON output (for programmatic use)

bash scripts/changelog.sh --repo /path/to/repo --format json

Plain text output

bash scripts/changelog.sh --repo /path/to/repo --format plain

Output Formats

Notes

  • Automatically detects the last git tag and uses it as the start point
  • Excludes merge commits for cleaner output
  • Conventional commit types (feat/fix/docs/etc) are extracted for JSON output
  • --group mode requires bash 4+ (macOS ships with 3.2; install via brew install bash)
