git changelog [options] [range]

git changelog generates a changelog from git commit history. It formats commits into release notes, grouped by version tags or date ranges, suitable for documentation.
The command is part of git-extras and supports various output formats. It can filter merge commits, format messages, and generate markdown-ready output suitable for inclusion in project documentation.
Using tags as version markers, it groups commits into release sections, making it straightforward to maintain a CHANGELOG.md file that documents the evolution of a project.
