Show HN: Devlog, generate development blog posts from Git commit messages (github.com/tcsenpai)

Devlog is a powerful tool that automatically generates (b)log posts from your Git commit history, providing a natural language summary of your development progress.

It uses ollama to generate the blog posts locally so it never sends your data to third-party servers.




You should dogfood the tool on it’s git repo to showcase as an example


I don't know why anyone would want a natural language description of user visible changes in a release.

The convention that worked where I worked was to praise the first line of such changes prefxed with "uv:" which would become bullet points for the changelog. Rarely would any need to be rewritten except for fixing the odd typo or punctuation.


Well, I guess it depends. In my case, our PR department asked if there was something similar to a devlog, there wasn't so I made it
