create-release-action

A reusable action to create a GitHub release. This action is tailored to the @LizardByte organization, but can be used by anyone if they follow the same conventions.

This is basically a wrapper around ncipollo/release-action, with some different defaults to make it easier to use within the @LizardByte organization. Additionally, all except the 2 (configurable) latest pre-releases and tags are deleted.

Basic Usage

See action.yml

steps:
  - name: Create Release

    with:
      name: v0.1.0
      tag: v0.1.0
      token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
