Neat. It would be cool if it could write to a changelog file as well. For example for github.com/Almenon/AREPL-vscode I have a CHANGELOG.md file that I keep up to date. The changelog shows up in VSCode if you look at the extension.

What's the benefit/drawbacks/differences of using this over github.com/semantic-release/semant...?

Well it's not intended to replicate what semantic-release does, it's intended to do one thing only for specific audience, take two tags, generate diff, use that for creating a release. And not touching the parts of repo.

About changelog file, there's r0mflip/ghtags that you can look at.

Hope that helps!
