Writing Good Changelogs

A changelog is a love letter to your users. Here is how to write one that matters.

The "Keep a Changelog" Standard

We follow the Keep a Changelog conventions. A good changelog entry should:

  • Group changes by type (Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security).
  • List the release date and version number.
  • Be written for humans, not machines (skip obscure internal refactors).

Example Structure

markdown

### Added
- New "Dark Mode" toggle in settings.
- Support for Spanish and German languages.

### Fixed
- Resolved crash when parsing empty commit messages.
- Fixed layout shift on mobile devices.

How GitLog Helps

GitLog AI analyzes your raw commit history and automatically categorizes them into these sections. It filters out noise (like "fix typo" or "merge branch") and synthesizes related commits into single, readable bullet points.
