release notes helper

To use: pip install ghapi and update the date below.

If you exceed the rate limit, then make a GitHub personal access token, which is a secret code used to access your account. If you don’t have one, click here to create one. You’ll be asked to enter a name – choose anything you like, for instance “ghapi”.

Example usage: python3 changelog.py > changelog.txt

#!/usr/bin/python3
from ghapi.all import GhApi
