Automatic Release With Github Actions

Brief

Based on my last auto release for my blog, I am considering to release my snap package to the release page automatically.

Talk is cheap. Show me the code.

name: Publish Release

on:
  push:
    tags:
      - "v*"

jobs:
  build_7yuv_snap:
    runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
    steps:
      - name: Check out Git repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Install Snapcraft
        uses: samuelmeuli/action-snapcraft@v1
        with:
          use_lxd: true
      - name: Build Snap package
        run: |
          sg lxd -c 'snapcraft --use-lxd'
          ls -lah
      - uses: "marvinpinto/action-automatic-releases@latest"
        with:
          repo_token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
          automatic_release_tag: "latest"
          prerelease: true
          title: "Development Build"
          files: |
            *.snap

Release contents

It will package the whole source package based on new tag, and if you want to package other files, use the files flag:

files: |
  *.snap

GITHUB_TOKEN

you can generate it in your personal token page and fill it in the secret pages. so cheap and skip.
