+# changelog gh-release
+
+Create changelog files and a bundle from a GitHub release by parsing pull request references in the release notes.
+
+For details and examples, go to [](/contribute/changelog.md).
+
+## Usage
+
+```sh
+docs-builder changelog gh-release <repo> [version] [options...] [-h|--help]
+```
+
+## Arguments
+
+`repo`
+:   Required: GitHub repository in `owner/repo` format (for example, `elastic/elasticsearch`) or just the repository name (for example, `elasticsearch`), which defaults to `elastic` as the owner.
+
+`version`
+:   Optional: The release tag to fetch (for example, `v9.2.0` or `9.2.0`). Defaults to `latest`.
+
+## Options
+
+`--config <string?>`
+:   Optional: Path to the changelog.yml configuration file. Defaults to `docs/changelog.yml`.
+
+`--output <string?>`
+:   Optional: Output directory for the generated changelog files. Defaults to `./changelogs`.
+
+`--strip-title-prefix`
+:   Optional: Remove square brackets and the text within them from the beginning of pull request titles, and also remove a colon if it follows the closing bracket.
+:   For example, `"[Inference API] New embedding model support"` becomes `"New embedding model support"`.
+:   Multiple bracket prefixes are also supported (for example, `"[Discover][ESQL] Fix filtering"` becomes `"Fix filtering"`).
+
+`--warn-on-type-mismatch`
+:   Optional: Warn when the type inferred from Release Drafter section headers (for example, "Bug Fixes") doesn't match the type derived from the pull request's labels. Defaults to `true`.
+
+## Output
+
+The command creates two types of output in the directory specified by `--output`:
+
+- One YAML changelog file per pull request found in the release notes.
+- A `changelog-bundle.yaml` file that references all created changelog files.
+
+The product, target version, and lifecycle are inferred automatically from the release tag and the repository name (via [products.yml](https://github.com/elastic/docs-builder/blob/main/config/products.yml)). For example, a tag of `v9.2.0` on `elastic/elasticsearch` creates changelogs with `product: elasticsearch`, `target: 9.2.0`, and `lifecycle: ga`.
+
+## Examples
+
+### Create changelogs from the latest release
+
+```sh
+docs-builder changelog gh-release elastic/elasticsearch
+```
+
+### Create changelogs from a specific version tag
+
+```sh
+docs-builder changelog gh-release elastic/elasticsearch v9.2.0
+```
+
+### Use a short repository name
+
+```sh
+docs-builder changelog gh-release elasticsearch v9.2.0
+```
+
+### Specify a custom output directory
+
+```sh
+docs-builder changelog gh-release elasticsearch v9.2.0 \
+  --output ./docs/changelog \
+  --config ./docs/changelog.yml
+```
+
+### Strip component prefixes from titles
+
+```sh
+docs-builder changelog gh-release elasticsearch v9.2.0 --strip-title-prefix
+```

+If you use [Release Drafter](https://github.com/release-drafter/release-drafter) or a similar tool to generate GitHub release notes that reference pull requests, you can use the `docs-builder changelog gh-release` command as a one-shot alternative to `changelog add` + `changelog bundle`.
+The command parses the release notes, creates one changelog file per pull request found, and creates a `changelog-bundle.yaml` file — all in a single step.
+
+For up-to-date command usage information, use the `-h` option or refer to [](/cli/release/changelog-gh-release.md).
