Script Description

Script designed to generate release notes template with main sections, contributors list, and detailed changelog out of .csv SRT git log file. The output release-notes.md file is generated in the root folder.

In order to obtain the git log file since the previous release (e.g., v1.4.0), use the following command:

shell

git log --pretty=format:"%h|%s|%an|%ae" v1.4.0...HEAD > commits.csv

Use the produced commits.csv file as an input to the script:

shell

python scripts/release-notes/generate-release-notes.py commits.csv

The script produces release-notes.md as an output.
