The default end tag was determined by listing all tags and filtering out prereleases. As a result the currently built prerelease tag was never evaluated and the changelog was generated for the previous stable release instead. The end tag is now the tag of the checked out commit, so the prerelease annotation is set as expected. Prerelease filtering remains in place for the start tag only. Additionally the changelog is no longer skipped for prereleases, since consumers of the chart benefit from the changes list before the stable release. Co-authored-by: Copilot <copilot@github.com>

ah-annotation
GitHub Action to generate ArtifactHub
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 according to SemVer 2.0 (e.g. -alpha, -beta.1, -rc.2) are detected
automatically and additionally result in an artifacthub.io/prerelease annotation.
Usage
Auto-detect tags
Without explicit inputs the action uses the currently checked out tag as end tag and the most recent stable (non-pre-release) tag as start tag:
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v7.0.1
with:
fetch-depth: 0
- uses: volker.raschek/ah-annotations@v0.2.2
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@v0.2.2
with:
old-tag: v1.0.0
new-tag: v2.0.0
Inputs
| Name | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
chart-path |
no | ${{ github.workspace }}/Chart.yaml |
Path to the Helm chart file. |
old-tag |
no | auto-detected | Start tag for changelog generation. |
new-tag |
no | auto-detected | End tag for changelog generation. |
yq-version |
no | v4.53.6 |
Version of yq to install. |
yq-arch |
no | auto-detected | Architecture of yq binary to download. |
yq-os |
no | auto-detected | Operating system of yq binary to download. |
yq-binary-name |
no | yq |
Name of the yq binary to download. |
yq-download-url |
no | auto-built | Full URL to download yq from. |
Requirements
- The repository must be checked out with full history (
fetch-depth: 0). - A
Chart.yamlfile must exist at the path specified bychart-path. - Commit messages must follow the Conventional Commits format.
Pre-releases
Tags containing a hyphen-separated pre-release identifier according to SemVer 2.0 are treated as
pre-releases (e.g. v1.0.0-alpha, v1.0.0-beta.1, v2.0.0-rc.2). When new-tag is a pre-release tag, the action sets
artifacthub.io/prerelease: "true" in Chart.yaml in addition to the generated changelog.
When auto-detecting tags (no explicit old-tag/new-tag), the end tag is the tag of the checked out commit - including
pre-releases - while the start tag is always the most recent stable tag.
