We’re excited to launch ReleasePages.dev, the easiest way to automate and host beautiful changelogs directly from your GitHub commits. 🎉

🧠 Auto-Generated Changelogs Set it once and never worry about writing release notes again. ReleasePages automatically formats your GitHub commit history into clear, readable changelogs – powered by AI – and hosts them on a public page.

🌐 Your Own Subdomain Each project gets its own dedicated subdomain (like acme.releasepages.dev) so your changelog is always accessible, linkable, and professional. Upgrade to use a custom domain like changelog.acme.com.

🔗 Seamless GitHub Integration We provide simple setup instructions that let you connect your repo via GitHub Actions in just a few clicks. No code changes needed. Your changelog updates automatically every time you push.

📜 Support for Historical Commits If you're just getting started, we’ll also help you import your full commit history to backfill previous changelogs — giving your users the full release story from day one.

📊 Easy to Use Dashboard Manage your projects in a clean, modern dashboard. You can view, regenerate, and edit release notes in a convenient editor whenever you need to make adjustments.

🔍 Built-in SEO Benefits Changelogs hosted on your own domain are fully indexable by Google and LLMs. That means your updates are searchable and can even help with discovery and support.
