This action provides a relatively minor convenience around releases. When creating a new release, the version should be given as something like
v1.0.3. Seeing that, this action will automatically update thev1tag to point to the newest minor release matching the major number.That way, users of this action who pin to (in this example)
v1will always get the latest point release.See this doc for a bit more background on this convention.
I ran this on my own fork to verify that it works. You can see the action output here.
