introduction

This pipeline will bump the version in package.json, create a new tag version, update the changelog and push the commit with --follow-tags! This package uses the same pipeline for versioning.

usage example

you can implement this custom action in your service by adding :

# GITHUB_TOKEN -> the token automatically generated for the ci job. only allows you to access the current repo, whereas GH_PAT is a custom secret we set that allows a package to fetch a registry from a different repo 🙂 You can generate it from the settings in github
# GH_PAT -> the secret containing the org token we generated that has more permissions
name: ci-release
