A formatted, user-facing changelog section with commits organized by type and rewritten in plain language.
The Prompt
Copy and paste this
Convert these git commit messages into a user-facing changelog. Group by: New Features, Bug Fixes, Improvements, Deprecations. Rewrite in plain language for users, not developers. [paste git log output]
Tips
Run git log --oneline v1.5..v1.6 to get clean commit output to paste. If commits are poorly written, add "Fill in reasonable user-facing descriptions based on what each change likely did" — then verify educated guesses before publishing.
