releasy

releasy - a simple release notes tool.

What is the tool for?

Writing and maintaining changelogs or release notes is not something a developer likes to spend time for nor is it fun to gather every information for a feature right before release time and write your changelogs or release notes late after you implemented a particular feature.

releasy offers a pragmatic but opinionated approach to provide changelog or release note entries within a pull-request (PR), store them until release date and generate the artifacts as a part of your build process when your about to release a new version.

The releasy-tool allows the following processes:

• Adding a changelog entry: Provided by the developer within a PR.
• Adding a release note entry: Provided by the developer within a PR.
• Creating release notes: Created out of existing release note entries within the repository as a part of the build pipeline.
• Updating a CHANGELOG.md-file: Created out of existing changelog entries within the repository as a part of the build pipeline.
