Release Notes generator

Simple Node.js script to generate an automatic release note based on the MR's merged since the last release.

How this works?

The operation is basic, the MergeRequest integrated in the Develop branch are obtained in a date range:

• Initial date: obtained from the last Tag created.
• End date: current date.

That's it, simple as that.

Things to keep in mind

When downloading the project, you will need to perform the following steps:

• Execute the following command in the terminator (pointing to the project folder):

npm install

• Create in the root of the project a file called .env where you must integrate the following parameters:

GITLAB_TOKEN=<GITLAB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>
PROJECT_ID=<GITLAB_PROJECT_ID>
TASK_BROWSER=<YOUR_TASK_PRIJECT_URL> (Jira for example)
TARGET_BRANCH=<TARGET_BRANCH_TO_OBTAIN_MERGE_REQUEST>

• Finally, we execute the project:

npm start

The final result will be a text with the following format:

### [<MERGE_REQUEST_TITLE>](<TASK_URL>)
    MergeRequest: <MERGE_REQUEST_URL>
    Author: <MERGE_REQUEST_AUTHOR>
    Reviewer: <MERGE_REQUEST_REVIEWER>
    ...
    Reviewer: <MERGE_REQUEST_REVIEWER>
