# Get commits since last release
gh api repos/owner/repo/compare/${LAST_TAG}...HEAD --jq '.commits[].commit.message'

# Get merged PRs since last release
gh pr list --state merged --base main --json number,title,labels,mergedAt

# Create release
gh release create v2.0.0 --title "Release v2.0.0" --notes "..."
```
