GitHub Release & Notification Action

This GitHub Action automates the process of creating releases for your repository. It can be triggered by a tag push or manually via workflow dispatch. The action will:

• Create a release for a specified tag (and create the tag if triggered manually)
• Generate a changelog from merged PRs or commit messages between tags
• Attach specified files to the release (optional)
• Send a Microsoft Teams notification if a webhook is provided
• Handle edge cases like missing tags or PRs, always providing a changelog

Inputs

• version (required): Release version
• name (required): Project name
• Team_webhook (optional): Microsoft Teams webhook URL
• github-token (required): GitHub token
• files (optional): Comma-separated list of files to attach to the release

Example Usage

- uses: dimi7rof/create-release@v3
  with:
    version: ${{ github.ref_name }}
    name: MyProject
    github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    files: "dist/app.zip,docs/readme.pdf"
    Team_webhook: ${{ secrets.TEAMS_WEBHOOK }}

Notes

• If no PRs are merged between the last two tags, commit messages will be used for the changelog.
• Teams notification is sent only if Team_webhook is provided.
