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
Paste your repository URL
Enter any public GitHub repository URL in the input field.
- 2
AI analyzes your commits
Our AI reads through your commit history and intelligently categorizes changes.
- 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.
- Go to GitHub Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens
- Generate a new token (classic) with
reposcope - 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:
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
