+
+
+Copy the following command and paste into your CLI.
+Modify the dates for `since` and `until` to include when work for this release start through when the the release work ended.
+
+
+```
+gh api --paginate '/repos/opensearch-project/data-prepper/commits?since=2024-05-16&until=2024-08-26' | jq -r '.[].author.login' | sort | uniq | ./format-release-thank-you.py
