Look at changelog in this project!
This changelog: ActionSheetPicker-3.0/CHANGELOG.md
Was generated by command:
github_changelog_generator -u skywinder -p ActionSheetPicker-3.0
FAQ:
Since GitHub allow to make only 50 requests without authentication it's recommended to run this scrip with key -t [your-16-digit-token]
that you can easily generate it here.
So, if you got error like this:
! /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/github_api-0.12.2/lib/github_api/response/raise_error.rb:14:in `on_complete': GET
89678f7d7f
: 403 API rate limit exceeded for 195.88.177.9. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.) (Github::Error::Forbidden)
It's time to generate this token or wait for 1 hour before GitHub reset counter for your IP.
