This script guesses the numbers for the merged pull requests from the last tag, then fetches the corresponding information from GitHub and formats it into markdown format suitable for use in e.g. Discourse.

To use, please add create a fetch_changelog_settings file in the toplevel of your repo folder, with the correct information:

repo = 'MRtrix3/mrtrix3'
user = 'jdtournier'
password = 'gngkasgndfgknldsafnfknxgkjd'

where password above should contain your personal authentication token, as generated from your GitHub acccount.

You can then invoke this script from the toplevel folder of your repo, and redirect the output to a file, or copy/paste the output as required:

$ python fetch_changelog > changelog.md
