release-manager

Automate semantic versioning and release notes by analyzing commit history to determine the correct version bump, generating a changelog from commits and PRs, and publishing those notes to Git tags and GitHub releases.

Create git tags and publish GitHub releases by running an automated workflow that applies a version bump, enforces a clean working tree, requires user confirmation before major steps, and pushes the final tag with generated release notes.

Enforce a clean working tree before creating a release tag by using guardrails that check for uncommitted changes, CI checks, and branch rules, halting the release workflow and requiring user confirmation if prerequisites are not met.

Apply a version bump across multiple package manifests and config files by running the release workflow on main or release branches, which automatically handles and updates version references throughout the repository.

Semantic version bumping works with both main and release/* branches, allowing you to initiate the release workflow and produce consistent release artifacts once all CI checks pass and there are no uncommitted changes.
