Update change log from Github Action list of closed issues since last action run?

[JohnGalt1717]

Is it possible to somehow get the last closed issues since last action run and then use cider to update the change log with version information and every issue that is closed in it?

This action looks promising, but I'm at a loss as how this would be used to put the items in the change log.

If I get the question right, there seem to be 3 main challenges:

• mapping the GH issue to a specific change type (added, changed, fixed, etc)
• determining whether the change requires bumping the patch, the minor, or the major section of the version
• how to generate the text for the changelog entry

The first two depend on your commit log and/or issue formatting conventions. The last could be as simple as a link to the GH issue. Once you have the version bump requirements for each change in the set, produce the cider log command for each of the changes, then use the highest version bump value (major > minor > patch) in cider version bump.
