The lib uses conventional commits convention which makes commits meaningful. You can also turn on GitMoji setting if you like. And select different languages and many other features (I got 12 PRs so far)

OpenCommit leverages the conventional commits convention, ensuring your commit messages are both concise and informative. Want a little fun in your commits? Enable the GitMoji setting!

We can use standard-version tool to generate a changelog, bump the version of app and create a new tag automatically.

There are many great tools to help with automation here, some of them are action-semantic-pull-request to enforce conventional commits and standard version to bump the version and create a changelog according to the conventional commits.

I tried gitmoji and followed Make everyone in your project write beautiful commit messages using commitlint and commitizen by @sohandutta, but end up using the setting in this article because it's not compatible to changelog generation of standard-version (Ref: Issue #859)

As a bonus point, the issues you create in your repository can also serve as part of the documentation. You can outline new features there and you will even be able to generate changelogs from the merged pull requests (like I do using conventional-changelog/standard-version).

There’s also a husky precommit hook with ESlint and Prettier fixing and formatting changed code on every commit with lint-staged which makes sure malformed code doesn't even make it to the Pull Request. Combined with standard-version and strict commit messages it makes releasing and changelog generation a breeze. For a contributor the workflow is as smooth as:
