This workflow: +# - Generates and maintains CHANGELOG.md from conventional commits +# - Automatically bumps versions based on commit types +# - Creates Release PRs that can be reviewed before releasing +# - Creates GitHub Releases when the Release PR is merged +# +# HOW IT WORKS: +# ------------- +# 1. On every push to main, release-please analyzes new commits +# 2. If there are releasable changes, it creates/updates a "Release PR" +# 3. The Release PR contains: +# - Updated CHANGELOG.md with all changes since last release +# - Version bump in tracked files (if configured) +# - Release notes preview +# 4. When the Release PR is merged: +# - A GitHub Release is created with the changelog +# - A git tag is created (e.g., v1.0.0) +# +# VERSION BUMPING: +# ---------------- +# Based on Conventional Commits (https://www.conventionalcommits.org/): +# - fix: → patch version bump (1.0.0 → 1.0.1) +# - feat: → minor version bump (1.0.0 → 1.1.0) +# - feat!: or BREAKING CHANGE → major version bump (1.0.0 → 2.0.0) +# +# COMMIT TYPES INCLUDED IN CHANGELOG: +# ----------------------------------- +# - feat: New features +# - fix: Bug fixes +# - perf: Performance improvements +# - revert: Reverted changes +# - docs: Documentation (optional, configurable) +# - chore, style, refactor, test, build, ci: Excluded by default +# +# WHEN IT TRIGGERS: +# ----------------- +# - Automatically on every push to main branch +# - Creates/updates Release PR with pending changes +# - No manual trigger needed +# +# REQUIREMENTS: +# ------------- +# - Conventional commit messages (feat:, fix:, etc.) +# - GITHUB_TOKEN with contents:write and pull-requests:write +# +# EXAMPLE WORKFLOW: +# ----------------- +# 1.
