Workflow
-
Fetch Latest Tags:
- Ensure all tags are fetched from the remote repository.
- Example:
git fetch --tags origin
-
Identify the Base Tag:
- Find the latest git tag that matches the pattern
.v* - Example:
git tag -l "v*" --sort=-v:refname | head -n 1
- Find the latest git tag that matches the pattern
-
Collect Commits:
- Get all commits from the identified tag to the current
.HEAD - For each commit, collect the title and the full description.
- Example:
git log <base-tag>..HEAD --pretty=format:"%s%n%b%n---"
- Get all commits from the identified tag to the current
-
Filter App-Related Commits:
- Analyze the commit messages and files changed.
- Exclude commits that primarily affect:
- Repository infrastructure (e.g.,
,.github/
,scripts/
except changelogs).fastlane/ - CI/CD pipelines (e.g., workflow YAML files, Dockerfiles).
- Build tools configuration (unless it directly impacts app behavior).
- Internal documentation or maintenance (e.g.,
,README.md
,AGENTS.md
,task.md
).implementation_plan.md
- Repository infrastructure (e.g.,
- Include commits that modify:
- App source code (
,app/

.fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/changelogs/ - Identify the highest numbered file (e.g.,
).9.txt - Analyze the language, tone, and formatting of recent entries.
- Maintain the same concise and professional style.
- Usually, the format is:
followed by bullet points if multiple changes are listed, or a single descriptive sentence.Welcome to Janus <version-name> (<version-code>)
- Read the existing changelogs in
-
Update the Latest Changelog:
- Take the identified meaningful changes.
- Draft the new content matching the established style.
- Update the highest numbered file in
with the new content.fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/changelogs/
