  • Update existing file or create a new `History.md` file with the commit messages since the latest Git tag:
    git changelog
  • List commits from the current version:
    git changelog --list
  • List a range of commits from the tag named `2.1.0` to now:
    git changelog --list --start-tag 2.1.0
  • List pretty formatted range of commits between the tag `0.5.0` and the tag `1.0.0`:
    git changelog --start-tag 0.5.0 --final-tag 1.0.0
  • List pretty formatted range of commits between the commit `0b97430` and the tag `1.0.0`:
    git changelog --start-commit 0b97430 --final-tag 1.0.0
  • Specify `CHANGELOG.md` as the output file:
    git changelog CHANGELOG.md
  • Replace contents of current changelog file entirely:
    git changelog --prune-old
