release-drafter VS app

For releasing or publishing our code automatically, we will use the action Release Drafter

New release drafts are triggered after every commit is pushed to the main staging build. The drafted release (built with release drafter) will contain all the commits added since the previous release and a suggested new version which will follow the Semantic Versioning rules.

I am thinking I would have to create a GitHub release manually and then have a workflow listening on the "Release created" event, which would pull the image with the correct commit sha, tag it with the proper version and push it. Or using something like Release Drafter with a PR-based Git flow.

During 2021, we worked hard to improve it furthermore and add new functionality. We just released the latest version of cookietemple. It now includes (beside other templates for example an advanced C++ template or a Java CLI template) a modern python template using poetry, nox (nox-poetry), automatic docs setup as well as many cool and modern GitHub actions, like ReleaseDrafter (https://github.com/release-drafter/release-drafter).

Every commit pushed to the main branch will trigger a staging build. In addition to this, every commit pushed to the main branch will draft a new release on GitHub with the help of the release drafter.

We are always actively working on the configuration for Renovate and will continue to fine-tune it. Having pull requests created for every upstream version change will also optimise the generation of automated changelogs (using the excellent Release Drafter GitHub Action we were already using on Lagoon).

I wanted to provide a way to be able to easily create release notes, to enhance transparency on what we are delivering. I chose to use a tool called Release Drafter in our workflow. I wanted to configure how labels would be used in every repository, and for that, we standardised all labels across all repositories. I use: docs, dependencies, bug, feature, and maintenance.

this certainly could be useful for me personally, but it would need more functionality. I think the _full_ project could be very useful though. however i would ask, how is this different from e.g. https://standardnotes.com/ and other note systems available ?

Take a look at DevonThink or Standard Notes

I've been using Standard Notes'[0] free tier for a while now without issues. Far superior to Evernote. And apparently EN uses your data for machine learning so they can monetize their free users. Standard operating procedure.
