Upload to Release GitHub Action

A GitHub Action that uploads a file to a new release.

Getting Started

jobs:
  build:
    # ...
    steps:
      - uses: lucyio/upload-to-release
        with:
            # repo username/name
            name: lucyio/electron
            # directory of all your files you want to upload (not recursive only flat, directories are skipped)
            path: ./electron_dist
            # can be enum of published, unpublished, created, prereleased
            action: unpublished
            # release tag
            release_id: 0.5.8
            # release repository name
            release-repo: lucyio/electron
            # secret for your github token to use
            repo-token: ${{ secrets.github_token_release }}

How it works (briefly)

• pulls a list of your releases last 10 (drafts or not) and scans by tag (release_id)
• if it matches it'll use that and upload assets (does not delete anything)
• if it does not match, it'll create a new release and upload assets there
• during uploads it will upload everything inside the path directory
