Syntax

git-cliff uses Tera as the template engine. It has a syntax based on Jinja2 and Django templates.

There are 3 kinds of delimiters and those cannot be changed:

• {{ and }} for expressions
• {% or {%- and %} or -%} for statements
• {# and #} for comments

See the Tera Documentation for more information about control structures, built-ins filters, etc.

Custom built-in filters that git-cliff uses:

• upper_first: Converts the first character of a string to uppercase.
