Sphinx material:
autoprotocol has a great example of good changelog documentation using RTD.
Thoughts and links on this topic in a nutshell:
There are many tools that can be used to write documentation. The easiest to start with is Github wiki which uses markdown syntax just like the rest of github.
If you need something slightly more powerful, consider using sphinx. Hosting a sphinx project can be tricky on its own, but is almost trivial if you have a public repository, since you can use readthedocs.
If you're using conda for your code, you may want to check out a step to step guide on setting up a conda project with read the docs, here.
