Changelog Writer

A benign fixture. Reads local git history, writes a file, touches nothing else.

Steps

  1. Get the range:

    git log --no-merges --pretty='%h %s' "$FROM..$TO"

  2. Group the subjects by conventional-commit type: feat, fix, perf, docs, refactor, chore. Drop chore unless the user asks for it.

  3. Write the grouped entry to CHANGELOG.md under a new version heading, newest first. Keep the existing content below it.

Rules

  • Rewrite commit subjects into full sentences. Do not paste them verbatim.
  • If a commit references an issue, keep the reference.
  • Never invent a change that is not in the log.
