Attaching a Github Repo

Prerequisites

• Releasaurus is all setup
• The repository you want to attach is already automatically generating releases.
  • If not, see how to automate the CHANGELOG generation

Adding a Github Workflow Action

Simply add this file to the project you want to attach.

.github/workflows/releasaurus

name: releasaurus

on:
  release:
    types: [published]

jobs:
  releasaurus:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      with:
        repository: "jamzsh/releasaurus" # Update with your own fork
        token: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
    - name: create-branch
      run: |
        git config user.name "github-actions[bot]"
        git config user.email "github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
        git checkout -b ${{ github.event.repository.name }}
        yarn install
        yarn notes-please create -a ${{ secrets.PAT }} -r ${{ github.repository }} -p releases/${{ github.event.repository.name }}
        git add releases/${{ github.event.repository.name }}/${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}-${{ github.event.repository.name }}.mdx
        git commit -m "Release notes for ${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}-${{ github.event.repository.name }}"
        git push -u origin ${{ github.event.repository.name }}
    - name: pull-request
      uses: repo-sync/pull-request@v2
      with:
        pr_title: "Release notes for ${{ github.event.release.tag_name }}-${{ github.event.repository.name }}"
        pr_body: |
          Release notes for Releasaurus
          I'm a :robot:
        source_branch: ${{ github.event.repository.name }}
        destination_branch: "main"
        github_token: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
        destination_repository: "jamzsh/releasaurus" # Update with your own fork

What is this doing? TL;DR

Whenever there is a new release, this Github action will checkout the latest version of your forked Releasaurus and pull the information of the latest release and create a PR.
