ah-annotation

GitHub Action to generate ArtifactHub changelog annotations from Git commit history and add them to Chart.yaml.

The action parses conventional commit messages between two Git tags and produces an artifacthub.io/changes annotation. Pre-release tags (matching -rc) are detected automatically and result in an artifacthub.io/prerelease annotation instead.

Usage

Auto-detect tags

Without explicit inputs the action determines the two most recent non-RC tags from the Git history:

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v7.0.1
    with:
      fetch-depth: 0
  - uses: volker.raschek/ah-annotations@v0.0.1

Explicit tags

Pass old-tag and new-tag to control the commit range:

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v7.0.1
    with:
      fetch-depth: 0
  - uses: volker.raschek/ah-annotations@v0.0.1
    with:
      old-tag: v1.0.0
      new-tag: v2.0.0

Inputs

Name	Required	Default	Description
old-tag	no	auto-detected	Start tag for changelog generation.
new-tag	no	auto-detected	End tag for changelog generation.

Requirements

• The repository must be checked out with full history (fetch-depth: 0).
• A Chart.yaml file must exist in the working directory.
• Commit messages must follow the Conventional Commits format.
