Usage

Add a new entry

To initialize the file or create a new entry, simply run the tool without additional commands. It will open an editor where you can enter your changes. In the editor you will see the recent changes for your user. Just add leave these lines and add your new ones below it.

Make a new release

You will be asked, what kind of version bump you would like to do. Then the last version will be bumped and set for the last unreleased entry. This will not only update the version but also the author and the timestamp.
