This plugin can be executed on every push to your release branch (e.g. main) and will create a new release pull-request with all of your custom adjustments like an updated changelog as preparation for the next release. After you have merged the "release"-pull-request with all your desired changes, a new release / tag will be created for you.
Create a new workflow like .woodpecker/release-helper.yml:
when:
event: push
branch: ${CI_REPO_DEFAULT_BRANCH}
steps:
release-helper:
image: woodpeckerci/plugin-ready-release-go:<version>
settings:
git_email: [email protected]
github_token:
from_secret: GITHUB_TOKEN
# release_branch: 'custom-release-branch' # default: main
# pull_request_branch_prefix: 'next-release/'
# debug: true- Setup ready-release-go on your repository by adding a config file and a workflow file

This plugin is heavily inspired by 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.
