Link releases with commit #24362

Hi I am trying to find all the merge commits that were done on our master branch. I am correlating this to our release tags that we generate. I cannot seem to find the link between the release object and the commit object. I am using the following apis to get the two data types api/v3/repos/{repo}/releases api/v3/repos/{repo}/commits Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? If I go to the UI and click on the release tag it shows the commit sha (short version) on the UI so I assume it is possibly to link the two. |

Thanks @lee-dohm will give that a try. I thought that only compared between two commit ids but your example is using the release tags so will give that a try. Thanks |
