feat: modularize scripts and improve project architecture

- Added `lib/utils.sh` and `lib/logging.sh` for reusable utility and logging functions.
- Updated `run.sh` and `scripts/generate-changelog.sh` to use the new utility and logging functions (`validate_arg`, `log_info`, `log_error`).
- Add `config.env` for better clarity and updated all references in the project.
- Enhanced documentation in `README.md` to reflect the new configuration file and usage instructions.
- Improved error handling and logging consistency across scripts.

-# Debian Changelog Generator
+# Auto Debian Package Changelog Generation
 
-## External Usage
+This project provides a streamlined solution for generating Debian-compatible changelogs using `git-cliff`.
 
-This repository provides a one-liner to generate a Debian-style changelog using `git-cliff`.
+## Features
+- Modularized scripts for better maintainability.
+- Centralized configuration via `.env` file.
+- Enhanced logging with multiple log levels.
+- Support for custom `git-cliff` configurations.
 
-## Quick Usage
+## Usage
 
-You can run the generator directly from the URL:
+### Prerequisites
+Ensure the following tools are installed:
+- `git`
+- `git-cliff`
+- `sed`
+
+### Running the Script Locally
+To generate a changelog locally, use the `run.sh` script:
 
 ```bash
-curl -s https://git.0xmax42.io/actions/deb-changelog-action/raw/branch/main/run.sh | bash -s -- \
-  --tag v2.9.1 \
-  --package_name my-package \
-  --author_name "John Doe" \
-  --author_email "john@example.com"
+curl -sL https://https://git.0xmax42.io/actions/deb-changelog-action/raw/branch/main/run.sh | bash -s -- \
+         --version v0 \
+         --tag v2.9.1 \
+         --package_name mypkg \
+         --author_name "Max Mustermann" \
+         --author_email max@example.com \
+         [--output_file debian/changelog] \
+         [--cliff_config path/to/cliff.toml]
 ```
 
-Optional arguments:
+### Configuration
+The `config.env` file contains default configurations:
+- `REPO_URL`: Repository URL for cloning.
+- `OUTPUT_FILE`: Default output file for the changelog.
+- `CLIFF_CONFIG`: Default configuration file for `git-cliff`.
 
-* `--output_file debian/changelog` (default)
-* `--cliff_config path/to/custom.toml`
+### Logging
+Logs are categorized into three levels:
+- `INFO`: General information.
+- `WARN`: Warnings about potential issues.
+- `ERROR`: Critical errors that require attention.
 
-> ⚠️ This will clone the action to a temporary directory, install `git-cliff`, and write the changelog into your current working directory.
+### Testing
+Unit tests for the scripts can be added using `bats`.
