GitHub Action to upload build artifacts to GitHub releases using ghr. The action will trigger on pushes to tags and exit neutrally otherwise.

• GITHUB_TOKEN — Required. Grants access to the repository.

• GHR_PATH — Required. Path to the artifacts you want to upload. You can specify a file or a directory. If you provide a directory, all files in that directory will be uploaded.

• GHR_COMPRESS — Optional. Compress files before uploading them. Can be either gz, bz2, xz, or zip. The correct file extension will be appended (e.g. .tar.gz, or .zip).
