ci(release): auto-create GitHub Release from CHANGELOG on tag by kvaps · Pull Request #167 · cozystack/blockstor

Andrei Kvapil (kvaps) · 2026-06-15T19:44:07Z

What

Add a github-release job to .github/workflows/release.yml that, after the three images publish on a version-tag push, creates the GitHub Release — title = tag, body = the matching ## <tag> — <date> section of CHANGELOG.md.

Why

Pushing a v* tag built and published the ghcr images but did not create the GitHub Release object, so that step was manual. This automates "cutting a release": push the tag → images publish → Release is cut from the CHANGELOG.

Behaviour

Runs only after build-push succeeds (a Release never points at a tag whose images failed).
Pre-release tags (-rc/-alpha/-beta) are marked pre-release and not "Latest".
Idempotent: updates the Release if it already exists (re-run safe).
Falls back to auto-generated notes (with a warning) if the CHANGELOG has no matching section.
Note: the job triggers only on tag push, so it is not exercised by this PR's CI.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Chores
- Enhanced release workflow to automatically create and manage GitHub Releases. Releases now include extracted changelog entries and appropriate prerelease flags based on version tags.

release.yml previously only built/pushed the ghcr images on a version tag; the GitHub Release object was created manually. Add a github-release job (needs: build-push) that extracts the matching CHANGELOG.md section and cuts the Release (pre-release + not-latest for -rc/-alpha/-beta tags, idempotent on re-run).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release workflow gains a github-release job that runs after build-push. It checks for an existing release, extracts the relevant section from CHANGELOG.md using awk and sed, computes prerelease/latest flags from the tag suffix, then creates or updates the GitHub Release. A fallback to --generate-notes fires if no changelog section matches.

Changes

GitHub Release Job

Layer / File(s)	Summary
`github-release` job: changelog extraction and release creation/update `.github/workflows/release.yml`	Adds a workflow comment documenting the GitHub Release step and a new `github-release` job (lines 129–181) that checks for an existing release, parses the CHANGELOG.md section matching the pushed tag via `awk`/`sed`, determines prerelease/latest flags from tag suffix patterns (`-rc`, `-alpha`, `-beta`), and calls `gh release edit` or `gh release create`; falls back to `--generate-notes` if no matching changelog section is found.

Poem

🐇 A changelog was read, a release was made,
With awk and sed the notes were displayed.
Pre-release flags set by the tag's little tail,
gh release create — success without fail!
The rabbit hops on, new versions unveiled! 🎉

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add an explicit tag-ref guard for workflow_dispatch runs.

github-release assumes github.ref_name is a version tag, but manual dispatch can target a branch; in that case gh release create ... --verify-tag fails. Gate the job to refs/tags/v* so manual misfires don’t break release runs.

Suggested patch

github-release: name: Create GitHub Release + if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/v') # After all three images publish, cut the GitHub Release for the tag: # title = the tag, body = the matching "## <tag> — <date>" section of
