name: github-release description: Create a GitHub release with auto-generated release notes from commits since the last tag. Uses conventional commits to categorize changes into Features, Bug Fixes, and maintenance sections.

GitHub Release

Create GitHub release with formatted notes from commits since last tag.

Prereqs: gh authenticated, existing tags in repo

Workflow

1. Get commits since latest tag (run as separate commands):

   # First: get latest tag
   git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1
   

   # Then: get commits since that tag (replace <TAG> with result above)
   git log <TAG>..HEAD --pretty=format:"%h %s%n%b---" --no-merges
   

2. Bump version if needed:

   • Check if version in decentpaste-app/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json matches latest tag
   • If yes, run /bump-version skill first
   • If already bumped, continue

3. Categorize by conventional commit prefix:

   Prefix	Section
   feat:	Features & Improvements
   fix:	Bug Fixes
   chore:, docs:, refactor:, perf:, style:, test:	Under the Hood

4. Generate notes (omit empty sections):

   ## What's New in vX.X.X
   
   [1-2 sentence summary]
   
   ### Features & Improvements
   - **Feature** - Description
   
   ### Bug Fixes
   - **Fix** - Description
   
   ### Under the Hood
   - **Change** - Description

5. Confirm with user: show version, tag, commit count, notes preview

6. Commit and push version bump (CRITICAL - must happen before creating release!):

   git add -A && git commit -m "chore: bump version to X.X.X"
   git push
   

   ⚠️ CI/CD builds from the pushed code. If you create the release before pushing, CI will build the old version!

7. Create release:

   gh release create vX.X.X --title "DecentPaste vX.X.X" --notes "$(cat <<'EOF'
   <notes>
   EOF
   )"
   

8. Done: Show release URL, CI will automatically build and upload artifacts
