GitHub Release Notes Generator

Do you like to have the auto generated release notes for your GitHub repository? But are you too lazy to work in branches on your own projects? Then this is the tool for you! This tool will generate release notes for your repository based on the commits in the main branch.

Installation ⚙️

There are two methods to run this code. The first method is to run the Python code locally. The second method is to run the workflow in your GitHub repository to generate the release notes automatically.

Method 1: Run the Python code locally

The required packages to run this code can be found in the requirements.txt file. To run this file, execute the following code block after cloning the repository:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Method 2: Run the workflow in your GitHub repository

Simply copy the contents of the .github/workflows/release_notes.yml file to the .github/workflows directory in your repository. This will automatically generate the release notes for your repository, if you run the action. You can then copy paste the output to the release notes of your repository.

Configuration ⚙️

For the Python code, you can configure the following settings in the example.env file:

• GITHUB_TOKEN: The GitHub token to access the GitHub API. You can create a token here
• REPO_OWNER: The owner of the repository
• REPO_NAME: The name of the repository

Usage 🚀

To run the Python code, execute the following code block:

python main.py
