Git Release - Create releases with auto generated release message
Online Demo: https://git-release.tkarimdesign.com/
Personal Access Token
You will need a personal access token to authenticate with github. How to generate token
Auto-generate Release Message
Using the Auto Generate Release Message field, you can generate release notes based on commit messages. Choose a start and end date, and all commit messages within these date ranges will be used to generate a release message. If no end date is provided, it will use the most recent commit as the end point.
Run Locally
npm install
npm run serve
Pre-fill Form Data
When you are running the app locally, you can provide pre filled values for the form using a dotenv file. For, example, you can pre-fill the access_token inside a .env.development.local file, so you don't have to re-enter it every time, you refresh the page.
VUE_APP_ACCESS_TOKEN=012345abcdef
IMPORTANT: If you are going to build for production, make sure you remove any sensitive info from your dotenv file, such as the access token. Otherwise webpack will bundle it with your app. For adding variables via for development, use a .env.development.local file. See more about how Vue handles environment variables here: https://cli.vuejs.org/guide/mode-and-env.html#modes
