+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# This script will print out all of the CHANGELOG.md lines for a given version
+# with the assumption that the CHANGELOG.md files looks something along the
+# lines of:
+#
+# ```
+# ## 6.6.2 Fri Jun 07 2019
+#
+# - [#6690](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/6690): Some words
+# - [#6700](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/6700): some more words
+#
+# ## 6.6.1 Thu Jun 06 2019
+#
+# - [#6691](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/6691): Revert other words
+#
+# ## 6.6.0 Mon Jun 03 2019
+#
+# - [#6659](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/6659): foo
+# - [#6671](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/6671): bar
+# - [#6625](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/6625): baz
+# - [#6633](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/6633): Many many words
+#
+#
+# ```
+#
+# EXAMPLE
+#
+# Run this script like so, passing in the version:
+#
+# ```
+# awk -v version='6.6.0' -f .circleci/scripts/show-changelog.awk CHANGELOG.md
+# ```
+#
