FAQPage Schema
How do I automate git releases with changelog and version updates?▼

Automating git releases involves detecting the base branch, running tests, bumping the VERSION file, updating the CHANGELOG, and pushing changes. This Skill orchestrates that entire workflow and proactively prompts you to create a PR for deployment.

What is the best way to bump VERSION and update CHANGELOG before creating a PR?▼

Bumping VERSION and updating CHANGELOG before a PR is handled by an automated release workflow. This Skill runs tests, reviews diffs, updates both files, commits, and pushes the changes before prompting you to create a deployment PR.
