goreleaser to only generate the changelog on GitHub

I am the current maintainer for the testcontainers-go project https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-go .

This project is a library. It does not produce any binary or docker image. I would still like to use goreleaser and the GitHub Action to automate the release process.

I had a look around but I am not able to find the right configuration to only run goreleaser to generate the changelog.

Do you have any suggestion? Thanks a lot

Solution

  • Right now it isn't.

    However, you can generate the changelog using git:

    git log --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --no-decorate --no-color tags/v1.0.0..tags/v1.1.0

    This is pretty much what GoReleaser does underneath.
