Possible to get Release Notes into the Hockey App step?

[snydersaurus]

Is it possible to get the git commit log or something uploaded as version “Release Notes” to Hockey App? This step is great, but each version uploaded gets empty notes.

This is possible like this:

How to generate Release Notes / Changelog from Git Commits since last git tag?

Can be done with a simple Bash one-liner: git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --pretty=format:"%h %s" Do you want to expose this as an environment variable, so that you can send it to Slack / attach as release notes? Just add a Script step to your workflow (after the git clone step of course ) with the content: #!/bin/bash set -ex # fetch tags, to be sure we have all the require info git fetch --tags # collect the commits since the last tag export GIT_RELEASE_NOTES="$(git…

Then, if you use the script from that How To, you can use the $GIT_RELEASE_NOTES env var e.g. in the Hockey App step’s Notes attached to the deploy input option (https://github.com/bitrise-io/steps-hockeyapp-deploy/blob/8d61570324bffe395c3a632c8cc968b7b139253a/step.yml#L90).

Please let us know if you’d have any questions!

P.S.: the script there will collect commits based on tags. If you don’t use tags you’ll have to use a different git command to collect the log, but sharing it as env var works the same way.
