  • Git-cliff: generate changelog files from the Git history
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Sep 2021
    We’ve been using charmixer/auto-changelog-action to generate release notes. This action makes nice references to GitHub pull requests. The release notes are attached to a GitHub release by an action. This turns out to be an invaluable reference for SQA and Product Manager for testing and creating customer-facing release notes.

    One downside is that we run into trouble with GitHub API rate-limiting.
