Welcome to ShipLog: Automating Changelog Management

Building software is hard enough without the tedious task of manually maintaining changelogs. That's why we created ShipLog - an intelligent, automated changelog management system that integrates seamlessly with your GitHub workflow.

The Problem with Traditional Changelogs

Most development teams face these common challenges:

• Manual Updates: Developers forget to update changelogs
• Inconsistent Formatting: Different team members use different styles
• Time-Consuming: Takes valuable time away from actual development
• Outdated Information: Changelogs become stale and unreliable

How ShipLog Solves This

ShipLog automatically generates changelogs by analyzing your GitHub repository events:

🚀 Smart Commit Analysis

• Automatically detects meaningful commits (feat, fix, perf, refactor)
• Ignores noise commits (chore, docs, ci, test)
• Analyzes actual code changes, not just commit messages

🔄 Real-Time Updates

• Webhook integration for instant updates
• Processes push, pull request, and release events
• Maintains both draft and published changelog entries

🎯 Intelligent Categorization

• Automatically groups changes by type
• Creates clean, readable sections
• Maintains consistent formatting across all entries

Getting Started

Setting up ShipLog is straightforward:

1. Connect Your Repository: Link your GitHub repo to ShipLog
2. Install Webhook: ShipLog automatically sets up the necessary webhooks
3. Start Developing: Continue your normal workflow - ShipLog handles the rest
4. Review & Publish: Review auto-generated entries and publish when ready

What's Next?

This is just the beginning. We're working on exciting features like:

• Team Collaboration: Multiple team members can review and edit entries
• Custom Templates: Tailor changelog formatting to your brand
• Analytics: Track engagement and understand what your users care about
