  completion  Generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
  generate    Generates changelog
  help        Help about any command
  version     Current version of generator

Flags:
  -t, --api_token string   API token for jira
  -u, --base_url string    base url where jira is hosted
      --config string      config file (default is ./.jira_changelog.yaml)
      --email_id string    email id of the user
  -h, --help               help for gh-jira-changelog
  -v, --log_level string   log level. options: debug, info, warn, error (default "error")
      --repo_url string    Repo URL. Used to generate diff url. Currently only github is supported
