Release gwtui

Creates a new GitHub release with a changelog derived from commits since the last tag.

Arguments

• Version bump level: patch (default), minor, or major
• Can also accept an explicit version like v1.4.0

Steps

1. Ensure on latest main and all tests pass:

git fetch origin main --tags
go test ./...

Stop if tests fail.

2. Determine the next version:

LATEST=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)

If an explicit version was provided as an argument, use that. Otherwise, bump the patch version (e.g., v1.3.0 -> v1.3.1). For minor: v1.3.0 -> v1.4.0. For major: v1.3.0 -> v2.0.0.

3. Generate changelog from commits since last tag:

git log ${LATEST}..HEAD --oneline

Group commits by type prefix (feat:, fix:, chore:, etc.) into sections:

• Features for feat:
• Bug Fixes for fix:
• Other for everything else

4. Create the release using ~/.claude/bin/gh:

~/.claude/bin/gh release create ${VERSION} --repo plinde/gwtui --title "${VERSION}" --notes "${NOTES}"

The notes should follow this format:

## What's Changed

### Features
- **Description** — details. (#PR)

### Bug Fixes
- **Description** — details. (#PR)

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/plinde/gwtui/compare/${LATEST}...${VERSION}

5. After release, run the install skill to update the local binary.
