autorelease

Automatically creates a release based on time and the presence of commits since the latest release.

Configuring this action

To configure this action create a file in your .github/workflows directory:

name: autorelease
on:
  schedule:
    # check at 11am every day
    - cron: "0 11 * * *"
jobs:
  autorelease:
    name: autorelease
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: autorelease
        uses: markelliot/autorelease@v2
        with:
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          # maximum number of days since last release
          max-days: 7
          # tag-only: true # create a tag instead of a release

Note

• This action works when the versioning scheme matches the pattern ^v?\d+\.\d+\.\d+$.
• A new release will only be created if there exists at least one prior release and there have been commits since the last release.
