Known limitations

1. Command is trying to find changelog file in vendor's dir. It can't be done if it wasn't created or if it is ignored for export (e.g. in .gitattributes)
2. Command creates wrong urls if the release name is different from the tag name (Github)
3. Command now supports only Github and Gitlab types of urls
