@ioquatix Most users of this tool are not primarily Ruby users

Here’s a very small guide to what the above meant.

Using Bundler & bundle exec

In order to app-isolate the RubyGems packages used when running a Ruby tool, Ruby users often rely on Bundler, a “package manager manager”. It installs and selects what versions of packages should be used.

These steps would get you to where @ioquatix noted you could try:

1. Find a file Gemfile in the directory where you want to run the command, and if you can’t find one, create one using: bundle init
2. In Gemfile, add a line gem "github_changelog_generator"
3. Run bundle install. This will fetch and install gems, then create a Gemfile.lock with the selected versions.
4. Now, you’re ready to use those exact gem versions: bundle exec github_changelog_generator (with the options you have selected, etc, etc, in the regular way of using GitHub Changelog Generator).

Hope this helps!

What if you leave off the initial && just after the “debug” word?

Hi,

(Go for hello everyone, we want to include everyone!)

Thanks for the report!

Can you add a backtrace of where you Ctrl-c? That may or may not make this easier to pinpoint.
