Options

    --help     Show help                             [boolean]
-t, --token    GitHub Token                          [required]
-r, --repo     GitHub repository (owner/repo)        [required]
-b, --branch   Github branch                         [optional] [default: the default branch of the repo]
-k, --keys                                           [required] [default: "feat:Features,fix:Fixes"]
-v, --version                                        [required]
-s, --style    Commit message style (full/short)     [optional] [default: full]

For the -k option, you can define any key+title that will be searched in commit list.
For example, "config:Configuration" will search every commit starting with "Config" (uppercased/lowercased), then print them in "Configuration" section in your release note.
The -v option supports three types of versionning right now:
xcconfig:<path_to_xcconfig> : Search for an xcconfig file, then extract VERSION_NUMBER + BUILD_NUMBER to generate tag
increment:<increment_count> : The next tag will increment the last tag + your increment count
package.json:<path_to_file> : Take the version in package.json file
