Introduction

logly is an AI-powered tool that transforms your GitHub commits into beautiful, organized changelogs. Built for developers who ship fast and want to communicate changes clearly.

Whether you're maintaining an open-source library or shipping product updates, logly helps you generate professional changelogs in seconds, not hours.

Quick Start

Generating a changelog takes just a few seconds:

  1. 1

    Paste your repository URL

    Enter any public GitHub repository URL in the input field.

  2. 2

    AI analyzes your commits

    Our AI reads through your commit history and intelligently categorizes changes.

  3. 3

    Edit and export

    Review the generated changelog, make adjustments, and export in your preferred format.

Authentication

Public Repositories

No authentication required. Just paste the URL and go.

Private Repositories

To generate changelogs for private repos, you'll need a GitHub personal access token.

  1. Go to GitHub Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens
  2. Generate a new token (classic) with repo scope
  3. Enter the token in the "Using a private repo?" section

Your token is stored locally in your browser and never sent to our servers. We only use it to fetch commit data from the GitHub API on your behalf.

Smart Categorization

logly automatically categorizes your commits into meaningful groups:

featureNew features and functionality
fixBug fixes and corrections
improvementEnhancements and optimizations
breakingBreaking changes
docsDocumentation updates

Regeneration

Not happy with how a specific entry was phrased? You can regenerate any changelog entry with a single click. Our AI will generate an alternative description while preserving the original meaning.

This gives you full control over the final output while still benefiting from AI-assisted drafting.

Export Options

Once your changelog is ready, you can export it in multiple formats:

  • Markdown - for GitHub releases, docs, and blogs
  • HTML - for websites and emails
  • JSON - for programmatic access and integrations
  • Direct link - share a URL with your team

API Reference

logly is primarily a web-based tool, but we offer API access for integrations. Contact us for API documentation and access.

Self-hosting: logly is open-source. You can run your own instance with the GitHub repository. This gives you full control over your data and enables custom integrations.
