Does this skill handle version tagging?

Yes, it normalizes version strings and automatically creates a git tag (e.g., v1.2.3) on the main branch after merging the release.

What happens if my tests fail during the release?

The skill will report the failures and exit immediately without performing any merges or deletions, allowing you to fix issues before finalizing.

How does it interact with GitHub?

It uses the GitHub CLI (gh) to create an official repository release, using the tag and your changelog notes as the release content.

Does it automatically update my documentation?

Yes, it parses your commit history to generate or update a CHANGELOG.md file with the latest features, fixes, and security updates.

Can I use this with any branch name?

No, it specifically requires the current branch to follow the 'release/*' naming convention to ensure GitFlow best practices are followed.

Acerca de

The Finish Release skill streamlines the final phase of the GitFlow workflow by handling the complex sequence of merging and tagging required for a production launch. It validates the release branch, automatically generates a comprehensive CHANGELOG from commit history, merges changes into both main and develop branches, and creates a tagged GitHub release. By automating these repetitive and error-prone steps, it ensures consistent versioning and documentation while enforcing best practices like pre-merge testing and branch cleanup.
