Output Format

The script generates a markdown file with a table:

PR #	PR Title	Issue #	Issue Title	Merge Commit	Parent Commit	Labels

How It Works

•Uses gh CLI to search for PRs by author in the date range
•
Filters for bug fixes by checking:
- •Labels containing "bug", "fix", or "regression"
- •Title containing "fix", "fixes", "fixed", "resolve", "closes"
•
Extracts linked issues from:
- •PR title (e.g., "Fixes #12345")
- •PR body (GitHub issue references)
- •Timeline events (linked issues via GitHub UI)
•Fetches issue details for each linked issue
•Gets merge commit and its parent for each PR

Prerequisites

•gh CLI installed and authenticated
•jq for JSON processing
