Woodpecker plugin that can be executed on every push to your release branch (e.g. default branch) and will create a new release pull-request with an updated changelog as preparation for the next release. After merging the "release"-pull-request, a new release / tag will be created for you.

1. Setup ready-release-go on your repository by adding a config file and a workflow file
2. On every push to your default branch a pull-request will be created and updated
3. You can review the pull-request and merge it when you are ready
4. The plugin will create a new release

• get latest release => tag
• get all commits since commit of last tag
• get all prs of those commits (if they have a pr associated)
• get all labels of those prs
• get next version based on labels of PRs
• get changelog based on labels of PRs

Build the Docker image with the following command:

docker build -f Dockerfile -t woodpeckerci/plugin-ready-release-go:next .

• Automatically create release pull-request
• Automatically update release pull-request
• Create a release / tag after "release"-pull-request got merged
• Handle -rc versions
• Support first release (no previous tags)
• Support defining next version manually (can be done by changing the version on the release pull-request title / commit message)
• Support more forges:
  • Github
  • Gitea
  • Forgejo (via gitea api client)
  • Gitlab
  • Bitbucket

This plugin is inspired by release-please, release-drafter and shipjs. Thanks for the great work! Compared to the mentioned tools ready-release-go is not requiring a npm package and can be used with any kind of programming language, changelog tool and commit style.
