FAQ

• no --repository and --workdir options support?

  Actually in the earlier versions, both options are supported. However, git-cliff-menu is designed to run in the root dir of current repository by force, which means equivalent to --workdir . --repository . always. Due to same reason, multi-value of --repository is disabled either in git-cliff.el.

• no --body option support?

  Almost useless option, please use --init instead
