How to extract the github release section to a changelog file on Ubuntu 22.04

We will be using the following software Release Exporter. I am using Ubuntu linux so this directions is for Ubuntu 20.04 or Ubuntu 22.04.

There is 2 installation options

1. Install via pip
   

   pip install release-exporter​

2. Or download the latest release from Github
3. Then extract the release into an folder then run in the folder the following command
   

   sudo python3 setup.py install​

4. This will install the rex command into linux.
5. If its a private repository you will need to create a github token. Directions to create token on Github. I created a classic token. Scopes selected the repo scope which include repo:status, repo_deployment, public_repo, repo:invite, security_events.
6. To run the software go to your repository folder and run the following command. You will need to add the token part if its a private repository.

   rex --token <your token> markdown​

7. After the above command was run there will be a file called "CHANGELOG.md" in your repository folder.

Hope this helps
