chg

chg

unfancy release history tracking

functions:

• init - create a CHANGELOG.md file
• add - add new changes to the changelog under a 'HEAD (Unreleased)' heading
• release - move all unreleased changes under a new release version

chg can be useful when built into a release/deploy script or paired with a pull request merging script like pulley.

It does not try to automatically generate changes from git commits or github pull requests, though you could build that on top of the chg functions.
