Software information
- Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04
- Rust version: 1.76
- Project version: 2.1.2
Additional context
We are in the middle of the development phase for our next release and I want us to start using git-cliff for generating the CHANGELOG.md file, but we don't want to lose the current content.
We have not used Conventional Commit messages before so we can't just start from the latest release.
As a workaround I guess I can add a commit with all the current entries, then remove the Unreleased section and use split_commits=true until after the next release, or add them with the GIT_CLIFF_WITH_COMMIT variable.
