release-gen

GitHub Action to generate a next release version and release notes based on commit messages. Intended to be used only as part of GH action agilecustoms/release

relation to semantic-release

This action is a wrapper for semantic-release. Motivation: semantic-release, when used as CLI, does not provide next_version and notes as clear outputs, just print them. The only way to get these values is to call semantic-release as Node.js module

Usage

The code below is not a real usage, but rather a block of code from agilecustoms/release action. Parameters are not documented: part of them are pass through from release action, the other part is generated by release action

- name: Release generation
  id: release_gen
  if: inputs.dev-release == 'false'
  uses: agilecustoms/release-gen@main
  with:
    changelog_file: ${{ inputs.changelog-file }}
    changelog_title: ${{ inputs.changelog-title }}
    npm_extra_deps: ${{ inputs.npm-extra-deps }}
    release_branches: ${{ inputs.release-branches }}
    release_plugins: ${{ inputs.release-plugins }}
    tag_format: ${{ inputs.tag-format }}
    version_bump: ${{ inputs.version-bump }}

Misc

The majority of GH actions use kebab-case for inputs, but this action uses snake_case. It is done for integration testing purposes
