Each repo in the org needed its own .github/release-drafter.yml containing only _extends: .github to delegate to the org-level config — redundant boilerplate across every repository.

Changes

  • .github/workflows/release-drafter.yml: Added config-name input pointing directly to the org-level config, bypassing the need for per-repo config files entirely.
- uses: release-drafter/release-drafter@3a7fb5c85b80b1dda66e1ccb94009adbbd32fce3 # v7.0.0
  with:
    commitish: '${{ inputs.commitish }}'
    config-name: github:cpp-linter/.github:/.github/release-drafter.yml

Per the release-drafter config loading docs, config-name accepts an org-scoped path, so the reusable workflow can own this reference centrally.

<issue_title>Hard-code release-drafter config path</issue_title>
<issue_description>According to the release-drafter doc, we could just set the org path in the config-name input value. Meaning, we don't need a duplicate config in each repo that _extends: .... We can just set the config-name value in the reusable workflow:

jobs:
    steps:
      # Draft your next Release notes as Pull Requests are merged into the default branch
      - uses: release-drafter/release-drafter@3a7fb5c85b80b1dda66e1ccb94009adbbd32fce3 # v7.0.0
        with:
          commitish: '${{ inputs.commitish }}'
          config-name: github:cpp-linter/.github:/.github/release-drafter.yml

This would save us the trouble of updating multiple config files that simply extend the org repo's config file.
