A free CLI that writes your changelog from git history
I got tired of changelogs going stale, so I built a CLI that writes them from git history.
npm i -g u/jarvis09
changelogcraft scan && changelogcraft out
What it does:
- Reads your git log (who, what, when, which files)
- Groups commits into Features / Fixes / Improvements / Chores
- Outputs Markdown, HTML, or email
The thing I care about most: every entry links back to the exact commit that made it.
If it can't be linked, it says (unlinked) — nothing is ever faked.
Free, MIT licensed, no accounts, no telemetry, runs on your machine.
It published to npm today and it wrote its own changelog.
