Do you want to release this by hand? Knope! Here's a GitHub Actions workflow:
```yaml
name: Drop a new version
on: workflow_dispatch
jobs:
create-release:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v5
with:
fetch-depth: 0
token: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
- uses: knope-dev/action@v2.1.0 # Install Knope
with:
version: 0.22.0
- run: knope release
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
```
You get a GitHub release and a changelog, picking the [semantic version] based on the combination of [conventional commits] and [changesets].
