Post Release Comments

A GitHub Action which comments on Issues and Pull Requests when they've been addressed within a release.

Example

1. User opens GitHub Issue #123 with a bug
2. Maintainer fixes #123 & closes issue
3. Maintainer tags a new release containing the fix
4. This action will leave a comment on Issue #123: Released as part of v1.2.3

Usage

This action assumes you keep a CHANGELOG.md and you have some way of getting the latest release from that changelog. I often use statamic/changelog-action for this.

Anyways, this is how you'd implement this in an Actions workflow:

- name: Comment on related issues
  uses: duncanmcclean/post-release-comments@v1.0.6
  env:
    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
  with:
    version: ${{ github.ref }}
    changelog: ${{ steps.changelog.outputs.text }}

If you use this Action in one of your workflows, I'd appreciate it if you'd consider sponsoring me.
