CLI Developer Tool
About
ReleasePilot is an open-source Python CLI tool that reads your git history and generates beautiful, audience-tailored release notes. It supports eight target audiences - developers (technical changelog), executives (business summary), and end-users (What's New). Output formats include Markdown, Plain Text, JSON, PDF, and DOCX - with professionally typeset narrative PDF featuring statistics, breaking changes, and security sections. The guided interactive workflow walks you through every option: repository, branch, time range, audience, format, language, and custom titles. Supports 10 output languages (EN, PL, DE, FR, ES, IT, PT, NL, UK, CS), conventional commit detection, intelligent deduplication, and a modular pipeline architecture for extensibility.
