Changelog Generator

Parses conventional commit messages (feat:, fix:, docs:, etc.) and automatically updates the CHANGELOG.md file with properly categorized entries. Maintains the Keep a Changelog format, groups changes by type, and includes the commit date and author. Runs as a post-commit hook to keep the changelog always in sync with the codebase.
