Automate Release Process

[mattdot]

User Story

As a maintainer, I want the release process to be more automated to reduce manual errors during the release process.

Definition of Done

• A new GitHub workflow release_prep.yml that automates the following

  • Merging pending changelog entries

    changie batch auto
    changie merge

  • committing and pushing those changes to main

  • tagging a new release

    VERSION="v$(changie version)"
    git tag -a $VERSION -m "Release $VERSION" 
    git push origin $VERSION

• Updates to release.yml
  • Change goreleaser to use use the changie version changelog (i.e. .changes/3.0.0.md) custom release notes https://goreleaser.com/customization/release/#custom-release-notes
