Python release

GitHub Action for python project release in pypi and github

Inputs

pre-release-tag

Required: Tag for pre-release. e.g. v1.0.1-alpha. If release is not a pre-release leave blank. Example: pre-release-tag: alpha

major-release

Required: Trigger a major release. Any non-empty value here indicates it's a major release. If not a major release leave blank. Example: major-release: true

pypi-username

Required: Pypi username for deployment

pypi-password

Required: Pypi password for deployment

version-file-path

Required: Path to the file containing version = <version_number> , where version_number will be incremented and commited to the main branch. This should be a relative path from the root of the repo.

main-branch

Optional: Name of the default branch in the repo. Usually is main or master (old). Defaults to main.

Known limitations

1. Despite pre-release-tag and major-release being required parameters, they're optional in real world. This action is supposed to be manually submitted when the release time comes. Since action inputs are always defined, in nothing's passed they will hold an empty string.

Example

Please note the need to set permissions to write in order to be able to create GitHub releases.
