Describe the solution you'd like

Permit customizing execution by writing permanent configs on some project's file.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Makefile, storing the command line on a text file?

Additional context

In attempting an implementation for #48, it seemed easier to write the modifications to the code convention as a toml / yaml dictionary. Once that way of writing the modifications is implemented, we could move on to creating a language for the CLI.

Could you elaborate a bit? Do you want to allow declaring a custom convention in YAML/TOML? I'd advise against that. I actually tried to implement such a thing in the past, and unfortunately declarative languages will never be enough. You'll hit incompatibilities in how (multi)line strings are handled between Python and TOML, especially for regular expressions. Well, that's only my experience, so of course if you manage to code something elegant and powerful, I'll review it. But I would very much not like to maintain a super complex configuration trying to code complex logic in TOML. I'd prefer some hook system to easily create a custom convention in Python directly.

If I misunderstood your intentions, let me know! And if you just meant (for now) to have a config file for the current options, I'm OK with that! Lets go with TOML, reading from pyproject.toml, .git-changelog.toml, config/git-changelog.toml, or .config/git-changelog.toml :)

Thanks for your contributions! 🚀

Yes, it would be a two-step process. First, just cover the current CLI options and after that, on a separate effort, deal with the complex configurations.

Thanks for the list of files 👍 I'm currently finishing up a PR :)
