release-notes 0.11.5
release-notes
A .NET tool that writes release notes for a GitHub repository from the issues and pull requests labelled with the
version being released (v1.2.3 by default), grouped into sections by their other labels.
dotnet tool install --global release-notes
release-notes generate nullean my-repo --version 1.2.3 --label "bug=Bug Fixes" --label "enhancement=New Features" \
--output release-notes-VERSION.md
Commands
Every command takes the repository owner and name, then --version.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
generate |
prints the release notes, and writes them to --output too when given |
create-release |
creates or updates the GitHub release for the tag, with the --body files as its notes, and adds the version labels for the next release |
apply-labels |
adds the version labels for the next major, minor and patch release, and backport labels with --backport-label-format |
find-previous |
prints the release before --version |
current-version |
prints the current and next version for a --query (M.N, M.x, or main/master) |
--token authenticates with GitHub (anonymous otherwise, which a long issue list can exhaust). --label <label>=<heading> maps a label to a section, and defaults to bug, enhancement and documentation. --format is
Markdown or AsciiDoc; --release-tag-format and --release-label-format set how tags and version labels are
spelled, with VERSION standing for the version.
On Linux, Windows and macOS (arm64) the tool installs as a native-AOT binary; elsewhere it falls back to a
framework-dependent build. It also runs as a container (ghcr.io/nullean/release-notes) and as a GitHub Action: see
https://github.com/nullean/release-notes.
