feat: convenience workflow for update major release tag #28
Conversation
|
I didn't find a way to automate the major tag update without a considerable amount of work or relying on an action we are recommended not to use. This is a convenience workflow that does nothing more that gives an easy interface for updating the tag so this task can be done without thinking about git commands and is guaranteed to be the same style each time. I tested it to work in another repo and it does fine. Moreover it does very little so no risk of bad things. Feel free to just ignore this PR if you prefer another approach, this is very much a style thing. |

Do you have a link to a doc which explains how this github actions bot user works?

I wish there was something in the docs about this! I failed to find anything relevant. The best I can suggest is the conversation on this PR for actions/checkout.
I suspect we can set anything as the git user and the tagging still works, I believe the choice is just to get the correct image when commits are view on gh webpages.
Adds a workflow which can be called manually (workflow_dispatch) and gives a convenient way to update the major tag to point to the latest release (or roll back to a previous release if required).
