Automating releases with GitHub Actions workflows takes the hassle out of manually managing deployments.
It helps you streamline the process, saving time and reducing errors.
Let’s have a look at how to set up release automation step by step.
Steps to follow:
1. Navigate to the GitHub repository where you want to add the workflow.
2. In your repository, create a directory named '.github/workflows'.
3. create a file inside '.github/workflow' named something like 'release.yml'.
4. Use the following example to automate releases when pushing a new tag.
5. Push a new tag following the 'v*.*.* format (e.g., v2.0.0)'.
6. After pushing the tag, the workflow will build your project, and the release will be automatically created on GitHub.
That's it! This is how to automate release workflows using GitHub Actions.
By automating release workflows with GitHub Actions, you ensure faster, smoother deployments.
This not only saves time but also makes the entire release process more reliable.
Follow the above-mentioned steps and see how automation can transform your workflow.
