Import your GitHub Releases with one URLnew

Aug 7, 2026 · by dario

Not every project keeps a CHANGELOG.md — plenty of teams write their release notes straight into GitHub Releases. Until now those projects started on Wakelog with an empty page.

Now you can point the importer at a bare repo URL:


wakelog import https://github.com/you/repo

…or paste github.com/you/repo into the import box on your dashboard, and Wakelog pulls the repo's published Releases (public repos, newest 100): release names become titles, release notes become bodies (headings tidied so nothing collides), publish dates are preserved, and pre-releases get marked. Same preview-before-import and same dedupe-by-title as the CHANGELOG importer, so re-running it is always safe.

Works via the web, the CLI, and POST /api/v1/:project/import with url=https://github.com/you/repo — dry_run=1 to preview. Then enable the release webhook and every future release posts itself, too.
