FAQ
Is it safe to use NoteshipAI with private repositories?
Yes. NoteshipAI uses GitHub OAuth and only reads repository metadata, commit history, and selected diffs needed to generate changelog/README drafts.
Does NoteshipAI actually read file diffs?
Yes. NoteshipAI generates output from commit history and file-level diffs, not only commit titles.
Does this workflow work with monorepos?
Yes. You can scope commit ranges and focus output on the services or directories included in each release.
