Git log is not a changelog
I agree, I used to have a NEWS file in my projects (later a NEWS.md), but as others commented, the signification of the term "changelog" has changed. Sites like https://keepachangelog.com/ really refers to release notes or news.

What is a Changelog and how to write one?
# Changelog All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). ## [Unreleased] ## [0.0.4] - 2014-08-09 ### Added - Better explanation of the difference between the file ("CHANGELOG") and its function "the change log". ### Changed - Refer to a "change log" instead of a "CHANGELOG" throughout the site to differentiate between the file and the purpose of the file — the logging of changes. ### Removed - Remove empty sections from CHANGELOG, they occupy too much space and create too much noise in the file. People will have to assume that the missing sections were intentionally left out because they contained no notable changes. ## [0.0.3] - 2014-08-09 ### Added - "Why should I care?" section mentioning The Changelog podcast. ## [0.0.2] - 2014-07-10 ### Added - Explanation of the recommended reverse chronological release ordering. ## [0.0.1] - 2014-05-31 ### Added - This CHANGELOG file to hopefully serve as an evolving example [Unreleased]: https://github.com/olivierlacan/keep-a-changelog/compare/v0.0.4...HEAD [0.0.4]: https://github.com/olivierlacan/keep-a-changelog/compare/v0.0.3...v0.0.4 [0.0.3]: https://github.com/olivierlacan/keep-a-changelog/compare/v0.0.2...v0.0.3 [0.0.2]: https://github.com/olivierlacan/keep-a-changelog/compare/v0.0.1...v0.0.2 [0.0.1]: https://github.com/olivierlacan/keep-a-changelog/releases/tag/v0.0.1
