If your team uses descriptive commit messages  eg   quot Ticket  12345 - Update dependencies quot   on this project  then generating changelog since the latest tag can de done like this  git log --no-merges --pretty format  quot  s quot   old-tag     new-tag  gt   path to changelog md   --no-merges omits the merge commits from the list old-tag  refers to the previous commit earlier than the tagged one  Useful if you want to see the tagged commit at the bottom of the list by any reason   Single quotes needed only for iTerm on mac OS
