Generate pretty markdown release notes from GitHub compare view

Go to GitHub compare view between two release tags and dump the following in devtools:

copy(Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('#commits_bucket .Box-row')).map(e => {
    const commitTitle = e.querySelector('.Details p').textContent.replace(/…/g, '').trim();
    const authors = Array.from(e.querySelectorAll('.commit-author')).map(e => '@' + e.textContent);
    const commitUrl = e.querySelector('a[href*=\'/commit/\']').href;
    return `- ${commitTitle} - ${authors.join(' ')} ${commitUrl}`;
}).join('\n'));

You'll get markdown copied into your clipboard.
