Changelogs without conflicts.

Changelogd allows teams to avoid merge conflicts for the changelog files.
The changelogd
content is stored within multiple YAML files - one per each
changelog entry. Then, during application release, all input files are combined
into one release file. The script uses Jinja2 templates to generate one consistent
text file out of all input YAML files. The default output format is Markdown, but
by modifying the templates it can be changed into any text format you like.
You can install changelogd
via pip from PyPI:
$ pip install changelogd
First, initialize changelogd
configuration.
$ changelogd init
Created main configuration file: changelog.d\config.yaml
Copied templates to changelog.d\templates
Then, create changelog entries:
$ changelogd entry
