Description
PR's are currently required to add an entry to History.md.
This adds to the burden of both contributors and maintainers if multiple PR's exist, as merging one often causes a merge conflict in the remaining open PR's.
The repository https://github.com/MSP-Greg/issue-pr-link has files that will generate the History.md text and update the links within it. It require a GitHub token to access the GitHub API, as it pulls information about both issues and pull requests from it.
It checks the labels for PR's ('bug', feature', & 'refactor') and groups PR's in the text output. It also adds issue links created by using 'fixes #2504` or 'closes #2504' in the PR body text (case insensitive). Sample console output of running history_new_release.rb below:
