Frequently Asked Questions
How does Changelog Generator convert technical commits into user language?
It analyzes the content and context of git commits to identify the type of change and its impact range, then converts technical descriptions (e.g., “fix: handle null pointer”) into user-friendly wording (e.g., “Fixed an issue that could cause the app to crash”). It also filters out purely internal commits, such as refactoring or test updates, that users are less likely to care about.
Can the auto-generated changelog be used directly in the app store?
The generated content provides a high-quality baseline structure, but it’s recommended to make small adjustments based on the app store’s specific requirements (such as character limits and formatting rules). The output is already organized by category (features, improvements, fixes, etc.) and can be copied directly into the update notes field of most app stores.
What types of change categories does Changelog Generator support?
By default, it supports five major categories: new features (✨ Features), improvements (🔧 Improvements), bug fixes (🐛 Fixes), breaking changes (⚠️ Breaking Changes), and security updates (🔒 Security). You can customize these categories and the corresponding emoji tags according to your project needs.
