Description

One of the output values is changelog and contains the following:

changelog=### [2.0](https://github.com/repo/compare/1.0...2.0) (2.0)

I have to write a custom commit message that contains the URL, but not the rest of the text. It would be nice if there's a changelog_url so that I don't have to write a regular expression against the text message provided in the changelog input value, or "construct" the URL myself.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by locating where the GitHub Action exposes the existing changelog output and where that changelog URL is assembled. Add a separate changelog_url output containing only the comparison URL, then run the project's relevant checks or tests and verify both outputs retain their intended values.
