It parses commits using conventional commit conventions by default, but also supports regex-powered custom parsers to extract structured information from your commit messages. The generated changelog is templated and configurable, so you can match your project's desired format and structure.\n\nThe package is distributed as a compiled Rust binary wrapped for Python, making it a command-line tool rather than a library for programmatic use. It's designed for release management workflows where you want to automatically generate release notes from your commit history without manual curation.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, is permissively licensed, and solves a real problem in release automation. The medium install friction (platform-specific wheels) is a minor trade-off for a compiled tool. Install it if you need automated changelog generation from Git history."},"id":"git-cliff","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/git-cliff","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/git-cliff.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/git-cliff/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"git-cliff","python_support":"supports_current","summary":null},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":216743,"position":9372,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.13.1"}
