I'm not sure what my next steps are or how to get the linting and test to turn green. Any suggestions? |

I've put this out there a while ago. I'm using this tool all the time. I've hit a place where this would be nice to have. I want to contribute instead of running off on my own fork. What can I do to get this merged in? Like why aren't the lint and test running? May I please have some guidance? |

I recently re-looked at this code and made changes. It now performs the expected behavior. |

What does this do / why do we need it?
When there are commits and no existing git tags, add any notable changes to the "Unreleased" section of the change log.
This requires is a breaking change because
git-chglog --initExisting template will still work.
How this PR fixes the problem?
In the
chglog.gofile some function have been update so that if the code cannot find any tag and there is no value set for "nexttag" or in the query, then allow a CHANGLOG.md to get generated. The template has been updated to alllow the "Unreleased" section to be displayed even when no previous versions exist.Changed the code in several places so that when there is no tag query set, then continue program execution, even if no tags are found. Thus removing the "no tags" error, if any programs parsed that error they will break. This allows unreleased commits from the beginning of he repositories history to be collected.
In addition, the templates had to be modified to allow adding the unreleased sections independent of versions. Since there will be no versions, as implied when there are no tags.

Additional Comments (if any)
Again, I am proposing this BREAKING CHANGE, which is that the program will never show the no tags error message again. The closes a PR that changes that message.
Which issue(s) does this PR fix?
fixes #76
closes #187
