 If you are not familiar with how cocogitto perform release, you might want to read the [auto bump](https://github.com/cocogitto/cocogitto#auto-bump)

+## Generating a Changelog
+
+You can also use this action to generate a changelog for your releases.
+
+Here's an example of how to set up a GitHub Actions workflow to generate a changelog when a new tag is pushed:
+
+```yaml
+name: Create Release
+
+on:
+  push:
+    tags:
+      - "v*.*.*"
+
+jobs:
+  create_release:
+    name: Publish release
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+        with:
+          fetch-depth: 0
+
+      - name: SemVer release
+        id: release
+        uses: cocogitto/cocogitto-action@main
+        with:
+          command: changelog
+          args: --at ${{ github.ref_name }}
+
+      - name: Upload github release
+        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
+        with:
+          body: ${{ steps.release.outputs.stdout }}
+          tag_name: ${{ github.ref_name }}
+```
+
+In this example, the workflow is triggered on a push event when a new tag matching the pattern `v*.*.*` is created. The `cocogitto-action` is used to generate a changelog for the release, and the `softprops/action-gh-release` action is used to create a GitHub release with the generated changelog as the release body.
