Description

Drop the changelog commit during the release creation process, don't push tags automatically, & publish the release as a draft. Because of this, a backport from main to develop is no longer required.

This change also means that a commit hitting main isn't an AUTOMATIC release - a human still has to go to the releases page and hit "publish".

Changes

  • drop semantic-release plugin git
  • drop semantic-release plugin changelog
  • drop backport job

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Simplified the release workflow by removing automated changelog generation and backport processes to the development branch.
    • Removed release state tracking outputs from the release workflow configuration.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request removes the semantic-release job's exported outputs (released, release_tag, release_sha) and deletes workflow steps that recorded git metadata and capture release state. It also removes the entire backport-release job and related git configuration steps. Additionally, the release configuration file removes repositoryUrl and @semantic-release/changelog and @semantic-release/git plugin configurations.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Release Workflow Configuration
.github/workflows/release-main.yml		 Removed exported outputs (released, release_tag, release_sha) from the semantic-release job. Deleted steps for recording pre-release SHA, configuring git identity/remote URL, setting git author/committer metadata, and capturing release state. Removed the entire backport-release job that was conditionally triggered based on semantic-release outputs.
Semantic Release Configuration
tools/release/release.config.cjs		 Removed repositoryUrl export, @semantic-release/changelog plugin configuration, and @semantic-release/git plugin configuration. Retained plugins for commit analysis, release-notes generation, and GitHub release creation.

Trimming branches, easing the breeze—

Tested against my local branch with semantic-release and seems to operate as expected.
