Setting up Automated Release Workflow with GitHub Actions

A few years ago, I posted the article about setting up Release with Travis CI.

Now, Github Action more and more popular, I used the that on my new project, aim to same goal.

github action config

name: new-release

on:
  workflow_dispatch:

  push:
    tags:
      - 'v*'

jobs:
  create-release:
    name: create release
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Use Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: '18.x'
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: |
          node -v
          npm -v
          pnpm -v
          npm install -g yarn
          yarn -v
          yarn install
      - name: yarn build
        run: |
          yarn build
          ls -l ./dist
      - name: zip asset
        run: |
          mv ./dist x-wallet
          zip -q -r x-wallet.zip x-wallet # zip --junk-paths
          shasum -a 256 x-wallet.zip | tee x-wallet.asc
      - name: create release
        id: create_release
        uses: actions/create-release@latest
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        with:
          tag_name: ${{ github.ref }}
          release_name: Release ${{ github.ref }}
          body: |
            Changes in this Release:
          draft: false
          prerelease: false
      - name: upload release asset 1
        uses: actions/upload-release-asset@v1
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        with:

          asset_name: x-wallet.zip
          asset_content_type: application/zip
      - name: upload release asset 2
        uses: actions/upload-release-asset@v1
        env:

        with:
          upload_url: ${{ steps.create_release.outputs.upload_url }}
