NAME

git2cl - tool to convert git logs to GNU ChangeLog

SYNOPSIS

git2cl > ChangeLog

If you don’t want git2cl to invoke git log internally, you can use it as a pipe. It needs a git log generated with --pretty --numstat and --summary. You can use it as follows:

git log --pretty --numstat --summary | git2cl > ChangeLog
