Last Tag - Commits Since Last Release

Show commits since the last tag in a formatted table with optional details.

Activation Triggers

• "last tag", "last-tag", "since last tag"
• "what changed since last release"
• "commits since last tag"
• "what's new", "unreleased changes"

Workflow

Important: Avoid $() command substitution in Bash tool - use sequential steps.

1. Fetch tags from remote and get the last tag:

git fetch origin --tags

Then get the last tag:

git describe --tags --abbrev=0

Store this value (e.g., v1.2.3) for use in subsequent commands.

1. Get commits since that tag with format date|author|hash|subject (substitute TAG with actual value):

git log TAG..HEAD --format="%ad|%an|%h|%s" --date=short

1. Check if all commits have the same author - extract unique authors from step 2 output.

If only one unique author name appears in all rows, it's a single author.

1. Format output:

If single author (count = 1):

Last tag: v1.2.3
Author: John Doe
 
| Date       | Commit  | Description                    |
|------------|---------|--------------------------------|
| 2025-12-20 | abc1234 | fix: resolve null pointer      |
| 2025-12-19 | def5678 | feat: add user authentication  |

If multiple authors (count > 1):

Last tag: v1.2.3
 
| Date       | Author   | Commit  | Description                    |
|------------|----------|---------|--------------------------------|
| 2025-12-20 | John Doe | abc1234 | fix: resolve null pointer      |
| 2025-12-19 | Jane Doe | def5678 | feat: add user authentication  |

If no tag exists:

No tags found in repository

If no commits since tag:

Last tag: v1.2.3
No commits since this tag

Interactive Details

After displaying the table, use AskUserQuestion:

question: "Show commit details?"
header: "Details"
options:
  - label: "All commits"
    description: "Show full details for each commit"
  - label: "None"
    description: "Skip details"
  - label: "Specific commit"
    description: "Enter commit hash to inspect"

If "All commits": For each commit, run:

git show --stat --format="Commit: %h%nAuthor: %an <%ae>%nDate: %ad%n%n%s%n%n%b" --date=short HASH

This shows: commit hash, author with email, date, subject, body, and file change stats.

If "None": End.

If "Specific commit" or user enters hash via "Other": Run the same git show command for that commit only.
