FAQ
How do I generate a changelog for a specific date range?
To generate a changelog for a specific date range, you can use the `git log` command with the `--since` and `--until` flags. For example, `git log --oneline --since='2025-01-01' --until='2025-01-31'` will show commits within that range.
Is this skill compatible with other git-based tools?
Yes, the changelog-generator works seamlessly with any git repository, as long as git commit history is available. It doesn't require any specific git tool but does require access to the repository's commit logs.
What are the requirements for using this skill?
The skill requires git context to function properly. It does not need database context, but access to the relevant git history and commits is essential.
Can I customize the changelog categories?
The skill automatically categorizes commits into predefined types (like features, fixes, etc.) based on commit message prefixes. Customization of these categories is not directly supported, but you can modify commit messages to fit the desired categories.
