            Automatic Changelog generator using Jinja2 templates.

            This tool parses your commit messages to extract useful data
            that is then rendered using Jinja2 templates, for example to
            a changelog file formatted in Markdown.

            Each Git tag will be treated as a version of your project.
            Each version contains a set of commits, and will be an entry
            in your changelog. Commits in each version will be grouped
            by sections, depending on the commit convention you follow.
