• Update existing file or create a new History.md file with the commit messages since the latest Git tag:
  git changelog
• List commits from the current version:
  git changelog --list
• List a range of commits from the tag named 2.1.0 to now:
  git changelog --list --start-tag {{2.1.0}}
• List pretty formatted range of commits between the tag 0.5.0 and the tag 1.0.0:
  git changelog --start-tag {{0.5.0}} --final-tag {{1.0.0}}
• List pretty formatted range of commits between the commit 0b97430 and the tag 1.0.0:
  git changelog --start-commit {{0b97430}} --final-tag {{1.0.0}}
• Specify CHANGELOG.md as the output file:
  git changelog {{CHANGELOG.md}}
• Replace contents of current changelog file entirely:
  git changelog --prune-old
