Release documentation is broken

Every developer we talked to has the same three complaints. You probably know them well.

Release notes eat your Friday night

You ship code all week, then spend 30-45 minutes writing release notes before every deploy. There has to be a better way.

Your commits don't follow the rules

git-cliff and semantic-release demand perfect Conventional Commits. Real-world repos have 'fix stuff', 'WIP', and 'finally'. Those tools silently filter them out.

Technical notes confuse non-engineers

Raw commit lists mean nothing to your customers, PMs, or support team. GitHub's auto-generated notes are just a wall of PR titles nobody reads.

From git history to polished changelog
in three steps

No configuration files. No commit conventions. No 45-minute Friday night ritual.

1

Point at your repo

Run relgen generate and RelGen auto-detects your last release tag — no flags required.

2

AI reads your commits

GPT-4o-mini analyzes every commit between releases, groups related changes, and infers what actually matters to users.

3

Get beautiful release notes

Polished Markdown lands in your CHANGELOG.md in seconds — ready to paste into GitHub Releases or share with customers.

Everything you need for professional releases

Built for developers who care about quality but don't have time for ceremony.

Key differentiator

Any commit style, zero setup

Works with conventional commits, informal messages, emoji commits — whatever your team actually writes. No conventions to enforce.

AI-powered summarization

GPT-4o-mini groups related changes and writes human-readable summaries. Bring your own OpenAI key — first 1,000 releases/month on Pro are on us.

Beautiful terminal output

Colorized output with progress spinners, diff-style highlights, and an interactive review mode to catch AI errors before publishing.

CHANGELOG.md management

Automatically prepends new releases to your existing changelog in Keep a Changelog format. Warns you before overwriting an existing version.

Team configuration

Commit a .relgen.yaml to your repo and every teammate generates changelogs with identical settings, models, and formatting.

CI/CD ready

JSON output pipes into any pipeline. Native GitHub Actions GITHUB_OUTPUT integration. Post directly to GitHub or GitLab Releases in one step.

I used to spend 40 minutes writing release notes at 11pm before every OSS release. RelGen does it in 8 seconds. My changelog has never looked this good.

Marcus Chen

Senior Engineer & OSS Maintainer · Vercel

We have 30+ microservices with zero changelog discipline. RelGen standardized our entire release documentation in an afternoon. SOC2 auditors are happy.

Priya Sharma

Platform Engineer · Stripe

My commits look like 'fix the thing' and 'it works now'. RelGen somehow turns that into release notes that make my users feel informed and appreciated.
