Discussion on: Using GitHub actions to release a WordPress plugin

The original author would have to comment to be sure, but the action is on: release which I expect to only trigger when a release is created.

"release tag" is a Github term, not a git term. It essentially transforms a regular git tag into a special github tag called a "release tag"

You're thinking you'd want something to happen on: tag but that's apparently not an event that is defined. You would need to script the transformation of a tag to a release via the Github REST API if you want to automate this ....?

I'm trying to make any automation: by on: push, on: tag, or something else.
I'm developing WordPress plugins and want to create an updating system from GitHub releases.

So, every time I push the commit, I want my plugin to see the new update on the Releases page.

Also, I'm trying to get rid of the tag version github.com/me/my-plugin/releases/d... in the link GitHub creates for me, but it's not vital...

So, I need Release to be automatically created. No matter how it will be done...
