Can't quite get auto-changelog right in github release notes. githubRelease runs before git commit/tag about release-it

With any tool, also make sure to verify things by simply running the commands in sequence manually.

Closing this one, but feel free to continue discussion or open new ones.

current workaround is something like

      - name: 'Bump Version'
        run: npx release-it --ci -VV --no-github.release $version

      - name: 'Create Release'
        run: npx release-it --ci -VV --no-increment --no-git

You could also look into using releaseNotes as a function:

Use the verbose or debug options to see the order of things and more details: https://github.com/release-it/release-it?tab=readme-ov-file#troubleshooting--debugging

Thanks for replying. I did use -VV to figure out what I think was happening.

I don't think auto-changelog is able to create the notes they right way until the tag/commit is there. I think I tried every combination.

I guess a function could possibly chop out the previous release notes if I run auto-changelog with the options that cause double release notes.

I've been using auto-changelog, but it's a while ago. Usually these tools work based on the commits since a certain tag. Also note that in dry mode the ! mean that the command didn't actually run (user commands could be writing something).

Also, this arguably is an auto-changelog issue/request.

I'm also not stuck on auto-changelog. I could just try conventional or keepachangelog

Or just put the git log into the githubRelease...
