This task can be performed using AutoChangelog
Never think about writing a changelog again. Merge, deploy, done.
Automate Notes From Merged Pull Requests
This workflow is for teams and solo developers who merge pull requests in GitHub and publish frequently. It becomes useful when release notes lag behind deployments, merged work gets omitted, or writing updates repeatedly interrupts the shipping process.
After each merge, pull request and commit details flow into a structured changelog according to chosen preferences. A good result is accurate, readable documentation that reflects shipped work across projects, without templates or a separate manual writing step.

More about merge hygiene
Automation works best when merged pull requests contain enough context to explain the change. Treat clear titles and descriptions as part of the GitHub workflow, not cleanup performed at release time.
- Use specific pull request titles that describe the user-facing change.
- Keep unrelated changes in separate pull requests so generated entries stay focused.
- Review naming and merge habits across projects before relying on fully automatic documentation.
