Prevent GitHub release changelog overwriting

[srnyx]

When I publish a GitHub release mc-publish overwrites the GitHub release's changelog when adding the files to the release, how can I prevent this?

As per the documentation, the changelog field is, by default, set to the "body of the release that triggered the action". This essentially means that mc-publish might be overwriting the GitHub Release's changelog with the same changelog. However, this would typically not result in any changes if these changelog versions are the same. Thus, I'm wondering if there could be some other variables in your configuration that may be causing this issue.

Could you provide more details about the specific configuration you're using, or perhaps an example where this is happening? With more context, it would be easier to diagnose the exact issue and suggest a workaround or solution.

Yeah my changelog value is set to ${{ github.event.release.html_url }} (https://github.com/srnyx/tools/blob/main/.github/workflows/publish.yml#L64)

Ah, I see. In this case you can utilize github-changelog to keep the original changelog intact, as shown in #76.
