@pmario I can relate.. if I had to manually craft change logs from scratch that would likely take up all the time I have for TW tinkering.
If you use the Conventional Commits spec for your commit messages, there are a lot of tools that can help generate changelogs: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#tooling-for-conventional-commits I am using Standard version <https://github.com/conventional-changelog/standard-version>, though I use it only to bump the version files, and generate the changelog. You can configure which steps you want it to skip. I commit the changes and create the git tag myself. This also allows me to review and hand massage the changelog if needed. What is great is that the tool is smart enough not to clobber your manual changes when you create the changelog for the next version. Standard version uses the underlying conventional changelog library which also has a lower level CLI: https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog/tree/master/packages/conventional-changelog-cli Personally I think the Conventional Commits spec works well for TW plugins. It forces you to try to write a user friendly first line for your commit message, and technical details can go in later lines (the body). Each commit message starts with a type, eg fix, feat, docs. And you can specify those yourself and also decide which ones end up in the changelog. Some of the other tools from conventional-changelog may be of interest as well:https://github.com/conventional-changelog There may be better tools out there but I've been using these for some time on other projects so I am very used to them and have found them reliable.
