GitHub Release

Create GitHub release with formatted notes from commits since last tag.

Prereqs: gh authenticated, existing tags in repo

Workflow

1. •

   Get commits since latest tag (run as separate commands):

   bash

   # First: get latest tag
   git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1
   

   bash

   # Then: get commits since that tag (replace <TAG> with result above)
   git log <TAG>..HEAD --pretty=format:"%h %s%n%b---" --no-merges
   

2. •

   Bump version if needed:

   • •Check if version in decentpaste-app/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json matches latest tag
   • •If yes, run /bump-version skill first
   • •If already bumped, continue
3. •

   Categorize by conventional commit prefix:

   Prefix	Section
   feat:	Features & Improvements
   fix:	Bug Fixes
   chore:, docs:, refactor:, perf:, style:, test:	Under the Hood

4. •

   Generate notes (omit empty sections):

   markdown

   Confirm with user: show version, tag, commit count, notes preview

6. •

   Commit and push version bump (CRITICAL - must happen before creating release!):

   bash

   git add -A && git commit -m "chore: bump version to X.X.X"
   git push
   

   ⚠️ CI/CD builds from the pushed code. If you create the release before pushing, CI will build the old version!

7. •

   Create release:

   bash

   gh release create vX.X.X --title "DecentPaste vX.X.X" --notes "$(cat <<'EOF'
   <notes>
   EOF
   )"
   

8. •

   Done: Show release URL, CI will automatically build and upload artifacts
