Accepting remote URL for configuration file

[marcaurele]

Hi!

I wish we could provide a remote URL to the command in order to store somewhere a common template for many repositories for which we generate the release notes with git-cliff. This in order to ensure each time the latest template is used from a central location.

Hello! Can you give an example of how this would look like? I'm not sure if I got the idea.

Implemented in #1083 as a separate flag

@orhun any plan to push a new release soon so that we can benefit from that change?

[orhun]

Hello @marcaurele, yup, I'm still trying to finish up a couple of things

Thanks for that feature! I guess the repo hosting that config file must be public in order for git-cliff to be able to fetch the file. Any hints or tricks available to also load such a file from a private repository?

Hey again, yes. IIRC you could share files from private repositories using a private hash in the URL... otherwise I'm not sure
