+## Migrating from a manual changelog
+
+Knowing how dedicated you are to your project, you probably haven't been waiting for github-changelog-generator to keep a changelog,
+but you most likely wouln't like to have to open issues and PRs for all past features listed in your historic changelog.
+
+That's where `--base` comes handy. This option lets you pass a static changelog to be appended at the end of the generated entries.
+
+If you have a `HISTORY.md` file in your project, it will automatically be picked as the static historical changelog and appended.
+
+### Rake task
+
+You love Rake? So do we! And so we've made it easier for you by providing a Rake task library for your Change log generation. In your Rakefile, use:
+
+```ruby
+GitHubChangelogGenerator::RakeTask.new :changelog do |config|
+  config.since_tag = '0.1.14'
+  config.future_release = '0.2.0'
+end
+```
+
+All command line options can be passed to the Rake task as `config` parameters. Since you're naming the Rake task yourself, you can create as many as you want, too.
+
 ##Features and advantages of this project
 - Generate canonical, neat change log file, followed by [basic change log guidelines](http://keepachangelog.com/) :gem:
 - Possible to generate **Unreleased** changes (closed issues that have not released yet) :dizzy:
