How does the skill group changes by time?

It organizes updates chronologically, typically grouping the last 7 days of activity by day and older changes into weekly summaries.

How does the skill categorize different types of commits?

The skill classifies commits into specific categories like Features, Fixes, Refactoring, and Docs by analyzing commit messages and project terminology found in the repository.

Can I link to GitHub or Azure DevOps repositories?
