What are the solutions for organizing a certain Changelog for developers and system administrators?

Good afternoon, please tell me if there are any ready-made solutions in which you can organize a certain changelog on various topics, namely, for example, there are system administrators in the development department and they do something with the infrastructure every week, and would like to log their every action somewhere , so that later you can return and find out the history of changes, and can also comment on someone else's action or something else
. Similarly, the developers changed a certain function somewhere in a more human-readable language
, they wrote what they changed and why. Those. some web tool. In theory, this is easily done by any CMS, but there may be some ready-made solutions that are not hard-wired for programming (like GIT and all that) but more universal

  • Any bug tracker (for example mantis)
  • infrastructure as a code.

and would like to log every action somewhere

they wanted or you?
txt file is ok?
Here is an example of a standard Change Log: https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framew...
Plain text. Recommend an editor for text files? I don't understand what the question is.

You can create such a tool using a DBMS in which to store the change time, and also bind various labels to it with a key-value pair. For example:

timestamp: <время>,
meta: {
  "tags": {
    "category": "networking/database/system/...",
    "reason": "just because",
  },
}

1. ANY bug tracker will be a good solution.
2. Any local versioned wiki will suffice.
3. git with the structure of documents / text files, but at least pictures.
PS "not hard-core programming (like GIT and all that)"
Judging by this mention, you have no idea what GIT and programming are. Because GIT can be used in any way. I would seriously advise you to shift the search for a solution to this issue to more competent people.

Any ticket tracker system with the ability to customize the workflow will suit you.
Atlasian Jira is one of the most popular but not cheap options. The good thing is that you can customize it.
Trello is free, but you can't build a flexible workflow and automation on top of it.
You track is a nice system from JetBrains. I don't know how flexible it is.
Also, any cms system can be used for this. like atlasia confluence.
Or git. There you can create a document for each change. It will be cool.
In my opinion, it is more important to determine the process here. To begin with, you can look towards ITIL and decide on the process. Later on with the implementation. Automation only automates chaos.
