Accessing the releaseUrl in hooks

[birtles]

Hi!

I am using release-it to generate a draft release on GitHub so that I can go in and review/tweak the release notes before publishing it.

release-it helpfully prints out the release URL, here I guess:

release-it/lib/plugin/GitRelease.js

Line 53 in e2e0c34

this.log.log(`🔗 ${releaseUrl}`);

However, after the GitHub action is run, GitHub folds up the action log and it's quite hard to dig through all the logs to find that line.

I wanted to make that URL easier to find so I tried adding a hook to add it to the action summary along the following lines:

  "hooks": {
    "after:release": "echo 'Draft release: ${releaseUrl}' >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY"
  },

However, it looks like releaseUrl is not available as I get:

ERROR Unable to render template with context:
echo 'Draft release: ${releaseUrl}' >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
...
ERROR ReferenceError: releaseUrl is not defined

Would it be possible to make this available, or is there another means of doing this?
