GitHub's Auto-Generated Release Notes

This flows show how to automatically generate release notes from your GitHub commits when you create a release — without writing them manually every time!

🚀 What it will do?

• Whenever you push a tag like v1.1.0 to GitHub
• It will automatically create a Release
• It will auto-generate release notes based on commit messages and PR titles

🛠 Tech Stack

• Node.js
• Express

🎯 How you use it in your project

• Add the workflow under .github/workflows/release.yml (code is in github, can copy that)
• Push a new Git tag

git tag v1.1.0
git push origin v1.1.0

(You can change v1.1.0 to whatever your new version is)

• GitHub will automatically create a new Release with auto-generated notes!
