+Generate a changelog that includes yet unexisting commit messages:
+
+```sh
+commit_msg="chore(release): update CHANGELOG.md for 1.0.0"
+
+# You might need to include the commit messages that do not exist
+# for testing purposes or solving the chicken-egg problem.
+git cliff --with-commit "$commit_msg"
+
+git commit -m "$commit_msg"

 Sort the commits inside sections:
