📚 **[Full Documentation](https://getsentry.github.io/craft/)**

## Quick Start

```

## Features

- **Auto Versioning** - Automatically determine version bumps from conventional commits

Create a `.craft.yml` in your project root:

```yaml
minVersion: '2.0.0'
changelog:
  policy: auto

### Prepare Release Action

Automates the `craft prepare` workflow in GitHub Actions:

```yaml
name: Release
on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      version:
        description: 'Version to release (or "auto")'
        required: false

jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: getsentry/craft@v2
        with:
          version: ${{ github.event.inputs.version }}
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
```

**Inputs:**

| Input           | Description                                                                                   | Default                              |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `version`       | Version to release (semver, "auto", "major", "minor", "patch")                                | Uses `versioning.policy` from config |
| `merge_target`  | Target branch to merge into                                                                   | Default branch                       |
| `force`         | Force release even with blockers                                                              | `false`                              |
| `blocker_label` | Label that blocks releases                                                                    | `release-blocker`                    |
| `publish_repo`  | Repository for publish issues. Use `"self"` to create issues in the source repository itself. | `{owner}/publish`                    |

**Outputs:**

| Output      | Description                          |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `version`   | The resolved version being released  |
| `branch`    | The release branch name              |
| `sha`       | The commit SHA on the release branch |
| `changelog` | The changelog for this release       |

### Changelog Preview (Reusable Workflow)

Posts a preview comment on PRs showing how they'll appear in the changelog:

```yaml
name: Changelog Preview
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened, edited, labeled]

jobs:
  changelog-preview:
    uses: getsentry/craft/.github/workflows/changelog-preview.yml@v2
    secrets: inherit
```

The workflow will:

- Generate the upcoming changelog including the PR's changes
- Highlight entries from the PR using blockquote style (left border)
- Post a comment on the PR with the preview
- Automatically update when you update the PR (push, edit title/description, or change labels)
