"x commits to [branch] since this release" is missing, part 2 #23890
-
|
I decided not to bump https://github.community/t5/How-to-use-Git-and-GitHub/x-commits-to-master-since-this-release-is-missing/m-p/3705 because it’s so old, but the issue is still present. Either this feature was removed for new releases some time in the last 2 weeks or so (I have a release from 20 days ago that still shows this), or it’s related to something else. Does GitHub only show “x commits to [branch] since this release” when the release was created from a branch, not a specific commit? In my release workflows, it’s very convenient to click the “x commits” link to see a comparison between that tag and the branch head, because that commit list is immediately usable to write the changelog entry for the next version. I’ll have to stop pointing releases to specific commits if this is the case. |

Hi @dgw, The If those variables have been met but the release is still missing that text, could you please send over a link to the repository in question to https://github.com/contact so that I can take a closer look? |

Nah, it sounds like I’m experiencing a side effect of creating a release pointed at a specific commit instead of a branch. I’ll just have to remember not to do that if I want the tracking text. :slight_smile: |

Releases · UCLALibrary/ursus · GitHub It is not visible in my repo either. It is more than a handy tool. Now it is a pain to see if there were commits since the last release. I really hope this feature is returned. My ream counted on it. We do releases all the time and used this almost daily. |

+1 I keep waiting for this feature to show back up, but it doesn’t. It has been a real pain for releases since this feature has disappeared. This was a nice way to quickly determine all that was done since the last release. |
