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.
Key Features
01
Guided Interactive Workflow
Step-by-step CLI wizard walks you through every option — repository, branch, time range, audience, format, language, and custom headings. No config files needed.
02
Audience-Aware Output
Generate developer changelogs, executive summaries, or user-facing What's New notes — each with tailored tone, structure, and level of detail.
03
Narrative PDF Reports
Markdown, Plain Text, JSON, PDF, and DOCX output. Narrative PDF includes cover page, statistics dashboard, breaking changes section, and branded footer.
04
10 Output Languages
Generate release notes in English, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Ukrainian, and Czech — with proper localization of structural headings and labels. Content translation available via optional deep-translator package.
05
Conventional Commit Detection
Automatically categorizes commits by type — features, fixes, breaking changes, performance, security, docs — using conventional commit prefixes.
06
Intelligent Deduplication
Filters out noise, merge commits, and duplicate entries. Groups related changes for clean, readable output.
07
Pipeline Architecture
Modular collect → filter → compose → render pipeline. Easy to extend with custom stages, formatters, or output targets.
08
Five Output Formats
Professional multi-page PDF with executive overview, feature highlights, reliability metrics, security notes, statistics dashboard, and branded styling.
