This task can be performed using AutoChangelog
Never think about writing a changelog again. Merge, deploy, done.
Standardize changelogs across projects
Define a single release schema before changing tools: version, date, summary, change categories, links, and ordering. Write these rules into your release documentation so every project uses the same labels and required fields.
Map pull request labels and commit conventions to that schema, then apply one shared configuration across repositories. Test it on one recent release, compare the generated notes with merged work, and assign an owner for exceptions.

AutoChangelog
dev-tools
AutoChangelog turns your pull requests and commits into clean, readable release notes with no work on your part. Every merge becomes a structured update that keeps users informed and teams aligned. Add a simple webhook, choose your preferences, and your changelog stays accurate across every project. No templates, no forgotten entries, just automatic documentation that keeps pace with how you ship.

- Automatic updates from merges and commits
- Simple webhook-based setup
- Readable output for every project
More about pilot validation
Pilot the standard on two differently structured projects before broad rollout. This exposes missing labels, inconsistent commit messages, and project-specific sections without disrupting every team at once.
- Compare one release from each pilot against merged pull requests.
- Use the same webhook preferences across GitHub repositories, changing only project-specific metadata.
- Document approved exceptions and review them after two release cycles.
