Description

Description

Given a repo where releases are tagged, provide a way to generate a set of release notes based on the difference between the current state of the repo and the state it was at the last tagged release.

Suggested Solution

Ideally something as simple as oco --changedsince <tag> or similar from a user experience point of view. The output should just go to stdout so it can be redirected as appropriate.

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the CLI entry point and existing Git command handling. Trace how a tag can be compared with the current repository, then verify that the feature accepts a tag and writes the resulting release notes to stdout for redirection.
