Automatically adds a new release notes entry to the upcoming release notes file once a PR is merged if a corresponding release notes addition file is present and a changelog label was applied to the PR.
Valid changelog labels are:
- changelog - added
- changelog - changed
- changelog - fixed
If no changelog label was applied to the PR, any release notes files in the PR will be deleted.
A repo must have a .release-notes directory and a .release-notes/next-release.md file for the action to work properly.
To prompt contributors to add release notes, see the release-notes-reminder-bot-action.
