title: Gitlab Generate Changelog Script
body: <p>Using Gitlab for the first time. </p>
  
  <p>I had an existing web project on my local PC, I ran these commands;</p>
  
  <pre><code>cd /myFolder
  git init
  git add .
  git remote add origin remote repository URL
  git commit -m "First commit"
  git push origin master
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This added all my files to my remote repo - all working well so far.</p>
  
  <p>I noticed that on the gitlab website, on my project page, there was a button <code>Add Changelog</code> (as well as <code>add readme</code>, <code>add licence</code>, etc.). I clicked this button and an empty <code>changelog.md</code> was created in my folder, which i've been able to pull into my local repo.</p>
  
  <p>How do I generate changelog entries?</p>
  
  <p>I've read the <a href="https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/changelog.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46384937/how-to-make-a-gitlab-changelog-entry">this question</a> but I still don't understand.</p>
  
  <p>I can't see a <code>bin/changelog</code> anywhere in my local repo.</p>
  
  <p>Do I have to clone the whole <a href="https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Gitlab</a> repo somewhere?</p>
  
  <p>Any advice is appreciated.</p>
