Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Changesmith
How does Changesmith generate changelogs?
Changesmith analyzes your git commits, pull requests, and issues using AI to understand the changes in your release. It then generates human-readable release notes that highlight what matters most to your users.
Do I need to use prefixes like feat: or fix: in my commits?
No, prefixes are completely optional. Changesmith uses AI to understand the intent of your commits regardless of format. Write "Add dark mode" or "feat: add dark mode" — both work great. Prefixes can help with categorization, but they're not required.
Can I customize the changelog style?
Yes! Changesmith analyzes your existing CHANGELOG.md to match your preferred style. You can also edit the generated changelogs before publishing to GitHub.
What GitHub permissions does Changesmith need?
Changesmith requires read access to your repository contents, commits, and pull requests, plus write access to create releases. We never modify your source code.
Can I use Changesmith with private repositories?
Yes, Changesmith works with both public and private repositories. Your code remains secure and we only read the metadata needed to generate changelogs.
Is there a CLI for local development?
Yes! The Changesmith CLI lets you generate changelogs locally without connecting to GitHub. Perfect for testing before release or for projects not hosted on GitHub.
Who is behind Changesmith?
Changesmith is a solo project built by Philip Ludington, an indie game developer behind Mr. Phil Games. It started as a tool to solve the tedious task of writing release notes and grew into a product that helps other developers ship better changelogs. You can follow along on Twitter @MrPhilGames.
