conventional-changelog

Conventional Changelog is a suite of tools to parse conventional commit messages and generate changelogs. It provides similar functionalities to Commitlint but focuses more on generating changelogs rather than enforcing commit message conventions.

commitizen

Commitizen is a tool that helps developers write standardized commit messages. It provides a command-line interface to guide users through the commit message creation process, ensuring adherence to conventional commit standards. Unlike Commitlint, it focuses on the commit message creation process rather than validation.

semantic-release

Semantic Release automates the versioning and package publishing process based on commit messages.
