I wanted to use this on my local machine repo, which is where most of my projects are.

It turns out that it doesn't work without a git remote

could you just put a option to bypass it if it's not there, you see changelogs mostly don't have anything to do with remotes in most use cases. I just wondered why this is a requirement.

to fool it i did git remote add origin ./.git, it works but i think isn't ideal since you wouldn't want to mess a repo like that just for the change log. It's best if there is a switch to ignore the remote and use a repo at a path or something along those lines.

Hey @emahuni. The library has been built on the assumption that your code is hosted on GitHub/BitBucket/GitLab, and the remote is used to link to the various PRs/issues/commits listed under each version.

You make a valid point that you shouldn't need a git remote, if you are happy with a changelog that's a simple list of changes with no links to anything.

I'll work on refactoring the logic to allow for repos with no remote.

Prefixing inside generateLog caused the param to always be truthy, which messed up parseReleases
