Description

Hello,

Thanks for these great tools. I was wondering how people are actually using git release with the "changelog" option? My point being, I was expecting either to have the possibility to disable the automatic push to remote in order to commit manually some files such as the changelog; either to see the History.md getting added/staged/committed automatically when using the -c argument.

Is there any way/workflow to allow the generation of the History.md file and getting it commit at the same time? How people are actually using this feature? Am I missing something?

Thanks a lot!

Research direction

Start by tracing the git release entry point and its changelog and -c handling. Inspect how History.md is generated and how the release is pushed; done means the intended workflow or option for generating and committing History.md is clearly supported and verified.
