Show HN: Devlog, generate development blog posts from Git commit messages

Devlog is a powerful tool that automatically generates (b)log posts from your Git commit history, providing a natural language summary of your development progress.

It uses ollama to generate the blog posts locally so it never sends your data to third-party servers.
