From the &quot;detailed explanation&quot; document (my emphasis):<p>&gt; When organising the release of packages, you may end up wanting to group several changes together written by different people and&#x2F;or over a relatively large period of time. The best time to capture this information is when submitting a PR (when it is fresh in your mind), not when you eventually go to batch and release these changes.<p>&gt; <i>Git is a bad place to store this information, as it discourages writing detailed change descriptions</i> - you want to allow people to provide as much documentation for the change as they want.<p>How does Git discourage writing detailed change descriptions? Is this a Github thing, i.e. the web UI workflows discourage it? I use Git a lot but barely use Github.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;changesets&#x2F;changesets&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;docs&#x2F;detailed-explanation.md">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;changesets&#x2F;changesets&#x2F;blob&#x2F;main&#x2F;docs&#x2F;deta...</a>

The title made me think this was an official feature of git or maybe GitHub, but it&#x27;s entirely unrelated - in fact, the readme doesn&#x27;t even <i>mention</i> git.<p>I&#x27;d suggest changing the title to actually use the project tagline: &quot;Changesets - versioning and changelogs with a focus on monorepos&quot; (possibly s&#x2F;with a focus on&#x2F;for&#x2F;)<p>(@dang @tomhow)

So much words in the docs. So little explanation of why
