create-release-action

Warning

This action is deprecated and will not be maintained anymore. Please use our LizardByte/actions monorepo instead.

A reusable action to create a GitHub release. This action is tailored to the @LizardByte organization, but can be used by anyone if they follow the same conventions.

This is basically a wrapper around ncipollo/release-action, with some different defaults to make it easier to use within the @LizardByte organization. Additionally, all except the 2 (configurable) latest pre-releases and tags are deleted.
