Release in GitHub actions
- softprops/action-gh-release : A GitHub Action for creating GitHub Releases on Linux, Windows, and macOS virtual environments.
- release-drafter/release-drafter : Drafts your next release notes as pull requests are merged into master.
- robinraju/release-downloader : Github action to download release assets from private or public repositories.
- actions/delete-package-versions : This action deletes versions of a package from GitHub Packages. This action will only delete a maximum of 100 versions in one run.
Status check for a multi-stage workflow
If you run a multi-stage workflow with status checks in branch protection rules, you might found that skipped jobs are treated as "passed". That is, if you have a workflow with a chain of dependent jobs A -> B -> C. When B fails and C is skipped, it still counts as passed when checking job C.1 Thus, auto-merging may merge broken code.
Dynamic parallel matrix
Job matrix creates multiple job runs that are based on the combinations of the variables. Sometimes we want a dynamic number of matrix jobs, which requires a JSON array as an output. Here we use json and glob modules in Python to generate that JSON list.12
