I have an open source project that moved from using Jira to track issues and changes to Github. Before, when the project made a release, it would fetch info from Jira to create a changelog.

With this tool, I was able to do something similar using Github as the source of information instead[1].

I fetch the info using the gh tool, output the result into json, and use a python script to format the output which results in a decent looking automatically generated changelog[2].

It's not the most exciting thing, and I could have probably achieved it in a different way using the GraphQL API directly, but for the needs of the project this fit the bill and let me get on with the release.
