RELEASE NOTES
From Freephile Wiki
You've studied the Git/hacks and built a ton of features, fixes, and updates to your codebase in a sprint worthy of Hussein Bolt. Now it's time to create some release notes - which in the tradition of open source is stored in the RELEASE_NOTES file of your project.
Since your team follows the best practices of writing good commit comments and also creating appropriate branches and pull requests, then it's a simple matter of letting ```git``` tell you what's in the release. Of course you can amend or add to it as needed.
- find the last parent branch see Git/hacks
- do a
git log --statorgit log --prettybetween the prior branch and HEAD
You'll get output like the following:
git log --stat feature-kibana..HEAD

I've written up fancier routines for this, but every time they're lost to the client where I've implemented them so this article is a stub to record and improve on the existing practices. See for instance: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/data
