How to update the CHANGELOG and make a release

[sanguinariojoe]

If you want to update the CHANGELOG.md file right before a release, just follow these steps (from the dev branch):

1. If you do not have the upstream, configure it typing git remote add upstream git@github.com:FloatingArrayDesign/MoorDyn.git
2. Fetch the already available tags/release typing git fetch upstream --tags
3. Add a new local tag with the version to be released, for instance you can type git tag v2.7.0 for the 2.7.0 release
4. Install git-cliff typing cargo install git-cliff
5. Execute it to modify the changelog typing git-cliff -o CHANGELOG.md
6. Upload the file to the repo typing git add CHANGELOG.md; git commit -m "Update the CHANGELOG for v2.7.0"; git push upstream dev (notice that you are pushing against upstream, not origin)
7. Create the PR, and merge it with the option "Create a mege commit" (never use rebase when releasing a new version)
