This line of code defines a variable releaseNotes and assigns it a value based on a conditional expression. Here's a detailed breakdown:

1. config.releaseNotes:

   • The code attempts to access the releaseNotes property of the config object.

2. The ?: operator:

   • This is often referred to as the "Elvis operator" in languages like Groovy (and others that support it).
   • It checks whether the value on the left side of the operator (config.releaseNotes) is "truthy" (i.e., not null, false, or empty, depending on the context).
   • If the value is "truthy," it assigns that value to the variable releaseNotes.

3. "":

   • If config.releaseNotes is null, empty, or otherwise "falsey," the Elvis operator assigns an empty string ("") as the fallback value.

Purpose of the Code:

This line initializes the releaseNotes variable with the value of config.releaseNotes if it exists and is not null/empty. If config.releaseNotes is null/empty, it defaults to an empty string ("").
