Demo of GH Actions for automatic releases.
Free free make a commit and add a release tag!
This will create a Release with "v1.0.0" as the content/description of the release. The "v1.0.0" comes from the message in the annotated tag.
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "blah, blah"
$ git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "v1.0.0"
$ git push origin --follow-tags
# OR, if you have set the global push.followTags settings to true
$ git push origin
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "blah, blah"
$ git push origin
$ git tag v1.0.0
$ git push origin v1.0.0
If you set push.followTags as shown below, you don't have to use the --follow-tags option in the command sequence above.
git config --global push.followTags true
This repo is configured with a Github Action workflow in .github/workflows/release.marvinpinto.yml that implements the automatic release based on tags.
It relies on the automatic-releases Github Action. That Action is one of many available to create Releases. Others may be better, but the one from Marvin Pinto is simple and does what's needed.
