stbenjam Release notes
Assemble the notes for one tag from the pull requests merged since the previous tag.
Gather the changes
- Find the previous tag with
git describe --tags --abbrev=0 HEAD^. - List the merges with
git log --merges --pretty=%s <previous>..HEAD. - For each merge, read the pull request body with
gh pr view <number> --json title,body.
Write the notes
Group the entries under three headings, in this order: Added, Changed,
Fixed. Drop a heading with no entries rather than writing "none".
Write each entry as one sentence in the past tense, naming the behaviour a user sees rather than the code that changed. Append the issue key in parentheses.
Finish
Write the result to docs/releases/<tag>.md and stop. Do not tag, commit,
or publish anything.
